    • Film Summary: Jesse and Celine meet on a train ride from Budapest to Paris. They take an immediate liking to each other and decide, on a whim, to spend a day/night together in Vienna before Jesse boards a plane home to the United States (Celine is French and is returning to Paris). During their evening in Vienna, they stop in a record store. Celine is interested in an album and Jesse suggests they go into the listening booth to see whether she likes it. They enter the cramped booth together and the music plays. They are clearly falling for each other, but they are still early in their relationship. Their nonverbal cat-and-mouse games in the listening booth, which lasts more than a minute, illustrates well the interaction between eye contact, proxemics, and relational stages.
  2. By Thursday, answer each of these questions in a post in the discussion forum:
    1. Describe the effect of proxemics on the eye contact between Jesse and Celine. What rules for eye contact are being followed?
    2. How do you think these two feel about each other? What stage of relationship do you think they are in? What nonverbal cues lead you to your conclusions?
    3. How do you feel watching these two in the booth? Identify three different emotions.
    4. Be sure to use the concepts from the readings in your response.
