You can also watch and research any film that is considered part of the "New Waves” that sprung forth in Poland, Yugoslavia and Hungary.
1. What are the characters’ attitudes toward work/ What is their work ethic like?
2. Were you able to distinguish the use of symbols/ What story elements seemed surreal?
