This book tackles the broader issues of film production and consumption, the audience and the place of film culture in our lives.
"They're back! The relentless creative output of the post-Jungian critique of film rolls on and you can't ignore them. In this, their second volume of movie analyses, these writers - some academics, some clinicians, some both - have returned in strength. While many psychoanalytic approaches to the moving image are starting to feel a little... what shall we say?... tired, the Jung-dude abides! And judging by the take-up of the first Jung and Film by Media and Film departments, clinical trainings and industry creatives alike, the out of date resistance to all things Jungian has witnessed a fast dissolve. These chapters are erudite, funny, sexy, sometimes a little weird. They offer tight close-ups and wide shots. They tell you about the psychology of film and the psychology of those who make film. Like with Coppola's The Godfather - this sequel could be even better than what went before." - Andrew Samuels, University of Essex, UK
