Write a short-form commentary (750 words) of The Fits. Critically examine an issue or a series of issues raised within the film. You are encouraged to engage all of your senses while viewing the movie (i.e., what is the mood of the piece, how was sound incorporated into the viewing experience, etc.), and pay particular attention to how the dance has been captured on the screen. For this assignment you need to use part of your commentary to explore the cultural content and context, message and/or impact of this movie. Remember to take notes during the film screening, or immediately after. It will help you track your insights. Do not merely rehash what a previously published review already states. You need to cite at least two sources, preferably one that is academic, rather than other film reviews or the website for film itself.
Typed, doubled-spaced, reasonable font size. References and footnotes required. Use in- text citations/footnotes, employing the Chicago reference style and a bibliography.
