Assignment for the week. Graduates, please email essay to me at elkrugamigos@earthlink.net; undergraduates, please bring a printed copy to class:
Daisies is a provocative and complex film. Rather than ask you to speak to a specific question, I'd like you to discuss the film in whatever way you'd like, with the following ground rules: 1/ as in all these exercises, "I liked it" or "I hated it" is an insufficient response - you need to go beyond your opinion and discuss something substantial about the work; 2/ you must root your discussion in close analysis of a single scene from the film. Consider this as practice for your final paper.
