MFL/French: University Interactive Talk on La Haine With Dr Reece Goodall From University of Warwick
13th May 2024 @ 15:45 - 16:30
In this MFL/French session, Dr Reece Goodall from University of Warwick will run an interactive talk for students on La Haine.
This interactive session on La Haine aims to offer the context and language to really explore the film in your A-levels. Dr Reece Goodall will talk briefly in English about the banlieues in politics, culture and film, before giving some insights into La Haine. We’ll then watch a scene from the film and unpick it together in French and English, exploring themes and techniques and the kind of analysis that will help you get the higher marks.
To get the most from the session, we recommend that people have watched La Haine in advance.
