RUSS 210 - Soviet Blockbusters

Semester Offered: Second Semester, First Module
Credits (Range): 1 to 2 Hours
Attribute: 1 to 2 HU, CD, WR

A course that boldly goes where no traditional Soviet film course has gone before. Our mission: to seek out and explore those movies beloved by generations of viewers back in the USSR. These classics include war movies, musicals, Soviet “easterns,” comedies, and “chick-flicks.” Our goal: to determine the basis of their popularity through an examination of their aesthetics and their surrounding social and political context.
Instructor: A. Forman
