This class is designed to offer students an introduction to the field of “star studies” by focusing on some of the most prominent actors and actresses in the history of French cinema. Through the range of films and texts selected for the class, students will get familiar with some of the most prominent films in the history of French cinema. They will also develop an appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of the medium, as they will be asked to approach film from a narrative and visual perspective in order to discuss and analyze the specificities and most salient features of stardom in a French context.

Notes: Though this class is taught in English, some previous experience studying French will be helpful, but is not necessary for success in this course. Students with high-level French may choose to complete their assignments in French.
