Until the late 1950's Hollywood functioned under a studio system, which largely governed the careers of stars and directors, and a code of censorship which imposed limits on the subject matter of films. By the 70's this studio system had collapsed, allowing film professionals unprecedented control over their careers, and a new ratings system had come into place, placing virtually no limits on what could be put on film. In this course we will focus on 15 groundbreaking films of the 70's, and on the crop of new directors who created them, including Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and many others. Prerequisite: COM 259 or permission of instructor.
