(Advanced) La Soufriere



One of my favourite films.

Watch:

La Soufriere

Activities:

Watch the first two minutes then explain the significance of these words or numbers:

Spring 1976
August
5-6
Newspaper
17,000


The town:

1. What made the filmmakers feel more relaxed?
2. Why were the dogs not barking?
3. Why was the sea full of dead snakes?


To the crater:

True or false?

The filmmakers didn’t want to get too close to the crater.

They ignored the warning signs along the road.

They had to sneak past roadblocks.

They had to go back to the car to get the cameraman’s glasses.


The meeting:

Why do the men refuse to leave the mountain? Do they seem to have arrived at this decision by reason or apathy?


Discuss:

How would you describe the attitude of the men who refused to leave the mountain?

How would you describe the attitude of the filmmakers?

Are the motivations of the filmmakers and the men similar or different?

What is the message of this film in your opinion? Do you find it challenging?
