Lilya Kaganovsky
Most Helpful Review
Winter 2024 - Kaganovsky is my favorite teacher so far!! The class essentially walks through the history of film, delving deeper into Russian film specifically. Much of it is Soviet film. We watched them in order of the different eras, so you can really see how things changed and evolved on each other. (It’s better if you speak Russian but you absolutely don't need to, everything has subtitles). Workload is manageable (weekly readings, total of five movie reflections for the whole quarter). Tests are made t be easy, prof is not trying to fail you. My TA (Marianna) was also amazing, and made discussion actually helpful to the class. So would absolutely take again.
