Comment:
Kestner is very knowledgeable about film, and very ebullient. While he's talking, there will never be danger of sleeping, as he has a loud enough voice to never need a microphone. If you get easily offended at talk about sex or curse words in class, he may not be for you, as he is not shy about these things during discussion. One of my favorites.

I had him 20years ago and he was wonderful. Tremendous vigor and really knows his stuff. Anyone who doesn't rate him highly is an idiot.

Comment:
Well you never have to crack a book, because all he teaches you is directly from the text. He doesnt seem to be open to other interpretations than his own either. Agreed on the test questions comment. And the one about favoritism.

Comment:
definitely plays favoritism as to who he acknowledges in class. only his advisees seem to get any individual attention.. or attention at all. his test questions include random nonimportant factoids that arent on the study guides.. and he mispronounces atle

Comment:
We read complex essays as homework, and had what could only barely be called discussions after the films. There were no benchmark grades or midterm, just an essay final and paper, and unless you had taken his classes before, there was no way to know exactly what he wanted or how he graded. Either you "got it" in his estimation, or not.

Hard to fall asleep in this class, eh? Smart man, boisterous, but sort of came off as being pretentious. Helpful, though, so he's got that going for him.

Comment:
Pretentious, showy, ostentatious--He seems genuinely concerned with his students, but loves to repeat the most obvious facts over and over. Plus, makes ungrounded declarations about cinematography, sound, acting, etc. as if he were a world class director.
