Description:

These days, contemporary writers and filmmakers from around the world must look toward Asia to acknowledge some of their most meaningful influences. From Akira Kurosawa to Bong Joon-ho, and from Kenzaburõ Õe to Han Kang, what these makers from Asia have to tell us about their human experience goes beyond their borders. This course will explore films and novels created by writers and directors from Korea, Japan, and China to offer a general view of some of the most meaningful aspects of their craft and their unique points of view. Due to time constraints we will focus only on these three countries.
