FILM 198 Hollywood in the 1980s

This course will focus on the film history of the 1980s; a cinematically eclectic decade in which both blockbusters and smaller personal films had exposure on movie screens, such as 'Batman' (1989) and 'Blue Velvet' (1986). The course will also discuss the implications on cinema and celebrity of a former actor, Ronald Reagan, becoming the president of the United States.
