DAY COURSE- FILM STUDIES
Billy Wilder and Some Like It Hot
Thursday 11th June

(Anita Fernandez)
£25.00
An exploration of the remarkable career of Billy Wilder, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated writer-directors, and how his life experiences shaped his work. From his early years in Europe to his success in America, we will consider how displacement, wit and sharp social observation influenced his filmmaking voice.
The session will include a screening of Some Like It Hot, followed by a wide-ranging discussion examining its themes, performances and enduring appeal. Together we will explore the cultural influences woven into the film — from European sensibilities and satire to Hollywood glamour and post-war attitudes — revealing how deeper values and ideas are embedded within this iconic screen classic.
A chance to revisit (or discover) one of cinema’s most beloved comedies and uncover the layers beneath its sparkling surface.
