CINE 460 Shakespeare and Film

Explores what film can teach us about Shakespeare and his role in our culture; what Shakespeare can teach us about the nature and history of film; and what the intersection of the two can teach us about the politics of literary forms and entertainment media and about the many forms and media of politics in contemporary society. We will read 3-4 plays and view 2-3 films based on each play. May require outside screenings.
