OUR STUDENTS SAY ABOUT
THIS COURSE
Dear Barbara,
First of all thankyou so much once again for a wonderful course - such interesting conversation and then the course on Italian film. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I learnt so much - not only about the techniques and characteristic styles of the directors studied, but also the culture, history and politics of the day which provide the context in which the films were developed. The course has definitely inspired me to look at films with a more critical eye and a deeper understanding and I look forward now to watching all the other Italian films that have been recommended to me. A thoroughly enjoyable course and I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone who is at all interested in films.
I had a good flight back, but straight back to Winter weather - extremely cold! What a contrast to the sunshine in Otranto! And straight back to work!
Auguri per un buon autunno.
Jane
