PS OTHER FILMS FOR LATER IN THE COURSE: Juraj asked what other films we are going to watch later in the course.
Here are two of them - I think the others will be documentaries:
- "The Lives of Others" (2006) (German) - you should watch it before we go to UPN on Tuesday, 25 October, so that will be part of assignment 6.
- Battle of Algiers (1966) (French) Here is the whole thing on Google videos in one piece, with English subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyi5MOtgxSQ
And last but not least, for you to enjoy during your reading week -- an extremely good Polish film on the Stalinist period with Krystyna Janda in it - "The Interrogation" (Przesłuchanie), dir. Ryszard Bugajski, made in 1982 but able to be released only in 1989. Here in pieces, with English subtitles, on Youtube:
