INTERNATIONAL CINEMA PRACTICE EXAM II
To provide an idea of how to prepare for the short answer (40 point) exam II, I created this practice exam. Exam II will have no fill-ins and will be somewhat longer. None of these exact questions will be on
it. Remember exam II will focus only on the films/filmmakers/movements covered in the lectures, films and textbook readings since the first exam; that is modules #6-10 inclusive.
I Indicate whether each of the following was made by a director we have studied since the first exam (De Sica, Fellini, Kurosawa, Bergman, Truffaut) or not. If the film was made by one of these, write the name of the director next to it; if not made by one of these, write none.
