- ‘Making Connections: Reviewing Film Remakes’Course start date: Tue 10 Oct 2023
Location on this date: Keeley Street
Tutors: Paul SuttonFilm remakes often get a bad press, but there is frequently more to them than meets the eye. Whether a remake of an older classic, as in the case of Gus van Sant’s reworking of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, for example, or the Hollywood remake of a cherished European film, these types of film reveal a set of complex cultural, national, industrial and perhaps even psychological connections. Join us to explore what makes a remake and to critically analyse some filmic examples.
