Film Studies Daily Log

Thursday, November 18

Students were asked to keep two questions especially in mind as they watched the beginning of Freaks (1932):

* What connections does the film have with German Expressionism?
and
* Does the film stand up for "freaks" or does it exploit them?

At the end of class students received a three-page handout with information about the individual people who appear in the film.

HW due Monday (no 6th period Friday):
Read the handout distributed today.
