5 películas de Almodóvar para conversar

¿Te gusta el cine de Pedro Almodóvar? Ahora tienes la oportunidad de aprender más sobre sus películas mientras practicas la conversación. Cinco semanas, una hora a la semana para profundizar y disfrutar del cine de este maestro.

Pedro Almodóvar es una de las máximas figuras del cine mundial, además de ser el cineasta más reconocido de su generación en España. Cada película de su larga carrera supone una exploración de temas como el género, la sexualidad o las costumbres populares en la cultura española de hoy en día, siempre contados con un lenguaje fílmico personalísimo y el inimitable sentido de humor del director. En el trimestre 4 (Term 4), El Patio ofrece un curso de conversación de nivel intermedio alto/ avanzado/superior (B1/B2/C1) en torno a cinco películas de Almodóvar que están disponibles actualmente en SBS On Demand. En cada sesión hablaremos de una película en concreto y profundizaremos en varios aspectos de la sociedad española. El curso tendrá una duración de cinco semanas y las clases serán de una hora cada una, los miércoles de seis a siete de la tarde. El único requisito es haber visto las películas (una por semana) y tener ganas de hablar y aprender más sobre este ícono de la cultura española. Phil Damon, profesor de español en Monash Uni y El Patio y residente en Madrid entre 2013 y 2016, se encargará de guiar la conversación. Las películas de las que hablaremos son:
1. ¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto?
2. La ley del deseo
3. La flor de mi secreto
4. Hable con ella
5. Volver.
