Film Studies Daily Log

Thursday, April 14

We finished watching F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, which we began yesterday. At the end we looked briefly at an article by Patrick Colm Hogan which outlines what Hogan sees as patterns in the film which link with German stereotypes of Eastern European Jews as invasive aliens corrupting German culture (though he does not believe the films creators to be proponents of Nazism).

HW due Friday:
Read the article on Expressionism from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica (Wednesday's handout) if you have not already done so.
