Follow Shyon Baumann’s method of studying films as art, i.e., the ways critics position films as art.
Pick one recent film (March 2020 to present), find the Metacritic.com page for a list of critical reviews, and assess five reviews with Baumann’s eight “techniques and concepts” (322-24).
In a final section, evaluate Baumann’s method.
According to your analysis, is the film art, entertainment, or both? Is it an artistic success or an artistic failure? Is the director responsible for the success or failure? You may create a table that is similar to Baumann’s (325). 800-1000 words
