Essay ? Film in Context ? 3000 words

Discuss the ways this film needs to be considered in
context. In your essay, you must:

– Define what kind of context is most relevant to understand the film your essay focuses on, according to the evidence found in your research.

– Engage in depth with some of the scholarly and journalistic sources you found in your research.

– Incorporate specific analysis of formal, narrative and thematic aspects of the film in connection to the context of analysis.

Your essay must explicitly refer to the sources you have used to assess and discuss the context relevant to the film in question. Particular care must be given to the structure of the argument,

the presentation of the bibliography and the citation of sources. Given the aims of this module, appropriate presentation of your research (endnotes, bibliography) and demonstration of good

scholarship (use of primary and secondary sources) will be particularly important to attain a good mark in your final essay.
