...understand film history), to hilarious German romantic comedies from the 1930s (unfortunately, turns out they’re totally pro-Nazi). “Munchhausen” is a psychedelic dreamscape of circa-1945 slapstick, and the Oscar-winning “Mrs. Miniver” will make you laugh right before you start to cry. (Seriously.)More importantly, the course material touches on philosophy, postmodernism, and theories of mass media and communication.
