This is from Hubert Dreyfus' 2008 Berkeley undergraduate course Philosophy 7 "Existentialism in Literature and Film"
https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_itunesu_461120622\
Course Description: The course will be organized around various attempts to reinterpret the Judeo/Christian God, and to determine in what sense, if at all, such a God is still a living God. We will study Dostoyevsky's and Kierkegaard's attempts to preserve a non-theological version of the God of Christianity, as well as Nietzsche's attempt to save us from belief in any version of God offered by our tradition. We will view and discuss three films that deal with related issues.
Those films are, for the record:
Hiroshima Mon Amour (Alain Resnais, 1959)
The Third Man (Orson Welles, 1949)
Breathless, French: "À bout de souffle" (Jean-Luc Godard, 1960)
The books being read are:
Fear and Trembling & The Sickness Unto Death (Kierkegaard)
The Brothers Karamazov (Dostoevsky)
Twilight of the Idols & The Gay Science (Nietzsche)
Cover art is Caspar David Friedrich, "Monk by the Sea"
