This is not, in the first instance, a course in philosophy of film. Malick's work will be approached as a palimpsest in which imagery, music, characters, and plot are explored in their interrelation as a way to unlock certain recurrent themes and ideas. We will view six films and read a great deal of philosophy and theology that is promoted by these themes and ideas. On alternating weeks, a film will be viewed together, and discussed in seminar format. In between these two meetings, participants will be required to view the film again, with a set of guidelines for reflection. Satisfies the following distribution requirement(s) for Philosophy: Ethics & Values.
