Course Description
The Spanish film director, Pedro Almodóvar (b. 1949) is currently at the height of his artistic powers. This one-time "enfant terrible" of the Spanish film industry continues to create works that provoke, puzzle, irritate, and entertain international audiences. The arc of his development has been the subject of countless articles, reviews, interviews, and books. This course proposes a look at five of his best films, in order to track the aesthetic, ethical, political, and artistic choices he has made. The films are (1) "Parallel Mothers" (2021); (2) "Pain and Glory" (2019); (3) "The Skin I Live In" (2011); (4) "Volver" (2006); and (5) "All About My Mother" (1999). This course will meet at the home of Professor Gies (refreshments will be served three times; dinner will be served two times). Please check your calendar carefully. If you are unable to attend any of the class sessions, you will be ineligible to join the seminar or receive credit.
