We will be viewing the classic film The Third Man, with a focus on themes such as the moral obligations we have to individuals, and their relation to political obligations; the value (or lack thereof) of loyalty and trust; and the relationship between art and entertainment. We will also discuss director Carol Reed's innovative stylistic techniques, particularly his use of light and shadow for both symbolic and artistic purposes.
