Apocalypse in Contemporary Film

T | 3:30-5:50

LY 335

The question of the end times has long fascinated people; this course examines its contemporary portrait in such films as Blade Runner, The Matrix, and The Left Behind. While these films constitute our basic “texts,” conversations will be supplemented with careful readings from the biblical Book of Revelation and other scholarship.
