I'm not a film student but I assume that long, comparatively difficult films by Tarkovsky, Ozu, etc are a lot of what the film students are watching and I would imagine that the professors are commentating on more recent developments

    Tarkovsky films are incredible but are a "watch once in your lifetime" sort of deal.

    I asked my grandmother if she had seen STALKER and she said yes, when it came out in theaters, like 40 years ago (in the USSR), and I asked if she was interested in re-watching it with her grandkids

    She said: "No. It's a very difficult film. A very difficult film. You watch it only once because you don't get the same feeling a second time"
