THEO3005 · Theology
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course will explore the meaning of life as a philosophical and theological question through the medium of film. Movies will be paired with readings from theologians and philosophers from various religions and perspectives in order to ask the question of what exactly we are supposed to be doing with our limited time here. We will watch a wide range of films, with works explored from Bergman, Kurosawa, and Varda, to more recent works by Miyazaki, Zhao, and Malick.
