Red Sorghum (红⾼粱)

NOTE: Dear all, there is a small change of plan. I have added another film to the list, so you can choose to watch any one out of the two; for sure it would be even better if you could watch both titles. 

We will mainly talk about Red Sorghum in class. If you cannot find the film, do write to Ma Ran. 

Reading Journal (paper version+writing sample would be distributed on May 10)

Due on May 22nd (Wed)/June 26^th (Wed), by 5pm, via Email to

maran@nagoya-u.jp

           

 write to Ma Ran, if you have further questions. I would explain it in class too.
