Dear Listmembers,

I'm putting together a very short course for 16/17 year olds as part of my
university's programme for widening access to higher education by giving
propective undergraduate students a taste of university teaching. The theme
I will be teaching will be 'body and identity', and I've chosen to feature
these two films as very likely texts through which I can explore issues of
gender, ethnicity, nationalism and cultural difference within that overall
theme.

Not having taught either film before (I'm professionally a literary rather
than a film critic), I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any
good critical material on either film. If anyone has taught them, I would
love to hear of your experience and, indeed, whether you have any tips.

Many thanks,

Lawrence Phillips
