One of the things I try to do is NOT watch the films I am going to show in class for at least a month before the class begins. I have seen the films several times and if I watch them in that period, it won't be fresh for me the night I show them.
One thing that I have noticed a sI have taught classes is how important it is for the class to see me reacting to the film as we watch them, it sets the tone.
Well I must admit I have been having a hard time doing it this time because the sequences are so fresh that I find myself revisiting them, thinking about them, revisiting them in my head.
These are truly some of the most daring, rigorous avant garde films in the guise of melodramas. They are exciting, I would go so far to say revelatory.

Can you tell I am excited? Classes start this Thursday.
