In this course, we will explore the universal theme of love through the lens of the Russian cinema. We will immerse ourselves in different time periods and will try to envision how love, sex, relationships, friendships and parenthood have been shaped by the circumstances of life in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet Russia. We will watch a Soviet classic “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” (1980, winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film), a suspenseful masterpiece “Loveless” (2017, winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival) and four other feature films, as well as a selection of short animated films. The classes will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Students will be required to watch each week's film online on their own (YouTube links to subtitled versions will be provided).
