Films we see during this 5-week course:
- Relatos Salvajes (Argentina, 2014). This film is made of six episodes between comedy, thriller and violence. Its characters will be pushed into the abyss and the undeniable pleasure of losing control, crossing the thin line that separates civilization from barbarity.
- The Endless Trench (Spain, 2019). 1936. A country taken by the fascism. A husband marked for the killing. A wife determined to do anything to save him. An endless incarceration in his own home.
- A Fantastic Woman (Chile, 2017). Winner of the Oscar to the Best Foreign Language Film, this film follows the story of Marina, a transgender woman who works as a waitress and moonlights as a nightclub singer, is bowled over by the death of her older boyfriend.
- Amores Perros (Mexico, 1999). One of the first films by academy award winner Alejandro González Iñárritu (The Revenant, Birdman). The film is constructed as a triptych: it contains three distinct stories connected by a car accident in Mexico City. The stories centre on a teenager in the slums who gets involved in dogfighting; a model who seriously injures her leg; and a mysterious hitman.
- Talk to her (Spain, 2002). Written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar, the film follows two men who form an unlikely friendship as they care for two women who are both in comas.
