Bert! If we can work something out, I can offer a possibility for electronic exchanges among students. I have the foreign film class, and our students have Internet access. What cours(s) will you offer and what films will your students be discussing? I am willing to explore other options for courses if necessary. At any rate, Mesa Community College is a possibility for this collaboration. By the way, I saw BLEU. I liked the film very much, but it didn't open in the Phoenix area, perhaps because of negative reviews and a preview audience reaction. Obviously, the film doesn't appeal to action-oriented viewers. Moreover, I believe viewes need to be able to enjoy the subtle transitions that occur in woman's behavior. I saw the film at a preview showing, and the man who arranges the viewings said that BLEU was the first of a trilogy by Kieslowski. The first, he said, represented "freedom" (i. e., the color). Presumably (I can't recall the woman's name--I shall call her Veronique), Veronique retreats from all commitments to escape any emotional and social ties. She views the beating of a man in the alley, but does nothing to help. As a grief reaction, I believe her actions are logically motivated, as is the subsequent reversal to accept responsibility for the music. By the way, I am fascinated by music in his films. I understand that neither BLUE nor VERONIQUE soundtracks are available. Do you know? I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers! Doyle Burke
