The War in Retrospect: Films

There are no scheduled sessions at this time. Sign up to be notified when this course is available.

In the wake of WWII, filmmakers around the world rejected the fervor of wartime propaganda in favor of a different type of film, very personal and sometimes autobiographical. They sought to grapple with the nature of war itself: not only what it does to a nation, but to people, their psyches, their relationships, and the sense of who they are in the world. In this class, we will screen both national and international films made in the aftermath of the war, from the groundbreaking (Godzilla) to the heartbreaking (The Cranes are Flying). These innovative, often courageous films will help us to investigate what stays behind once war is over.
