Course Description:
This course in English invites students to explore Francophone films that are adaptions of bandes dessinées (comics) or graphic novels. and are not always what one would expect. By reading the original works and screening the films made from them, as well as reading theoretical and critical texts, students will explore the affordances and limitations of such adaptations, theories of adaptation, and develop textual, visual, and cinematographic literacies. Works may include "Quai d'Orsay", "La vie d'Adèle", "Persepolis", "Largo Winch", "Falcon Lake", "Les chevaliers du ciel", "Le chat du rabbin", and "Astérix aux Jeux olympiques". Students taking the course for French credit will complete assignments in French. |
