Section Info: Pascal Senior Center | Cultural Infl. America Film- Love, Death, Afterlife Films | No class Nov 27 | This course presents the Hollywood tradition of classic films about love, death, and the afterlife. This important cinematic genre began in the 1920s and '30s and continues all the way to the present. The plots of these movies are fascinating because they often adapt ancient themes like the myth of Orpheus and Euridice and then use them in brisk contemporary tales that are set in the here and now.
