Alternatives to Hollywood: A Teacher's Guide

By Isabelle Vanderschelden, Andy Willis, Sarah Perks

Auteur's Alternatives to Hollywood: A Teacher's Guide is aimed explicitly at those requiring a short, sharp exposure to the cinemas of France, India and East Asia. The aim is both to expand the understanding of the cinemas--with particular reference to the term 'New Wave'--while also discovering new films to widen film studies teaching in general. Each of the three chapters includes a historical overview of the national/regional cinema under discussion, in depth case studies of representative films and filmmakers--including Les quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows), Am lie, the films of Wong Kar-wai (Chungking Express, 2046) and Mohabbatein--and extensive bibliographies, filmographies to signpost further investigation, and advice on teaching approaches.
