b"A class on repetition in Groundhog Day; a little bit of discussion of Kierkegaard and the idea that repetition is always a step behind. \\xa0How this plays out in the movie: what comes first before it's repeated. \\xa0How much is left to elision. \\xa0How philosophical issues in the movie overlap with technical and narrative demands of film making. \\xa0Groundhog Day compared to Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman,\\xa0and to the Mr. Magoo version of A Christmas Carol."
