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?
