Sorry I forgot to remind you all of this in class today, but it is on the syllabus: You are to see one contemporary British film (1984 or later) and write a 500 word response to be turned in March 19 in class. Please don't just try writing about a film you saw months or even years ago; watch something now and write about it, informed by your coursework.
The following British films are on reserve in the library if you wish to watch them:
Brazil
Morvern Callar
Secrets and Lies
Life is Sweet
A Zed and Two Noughts
Ratcatcher
The library may have other contemporary British films available, or feel free to partake of any films showing in Boston at the moment, such as The Kendall Square Cinema (which currently is showing the excellent Oscar nominee An Education), or The Brattle Theatre (which is showing some classic Merchant-Ivory heritage films tomorrow), or the Coolidge (showing The Last Station directed by Michael Hoffman, a British co-production starring Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and James McAvoy, also with Oscar nods for Mirren and Plummer)
You can also rent from Netflix or a video store, too, or visit your local library, which normally have excellent video selections.
