Jung and Film

by Christopher Hauke (Editor), Ian Alister (Editor)

Jung and Film brings together some of the best new writing from both sides of the Atlantic, introducing the use of Jungian ideas in film analyis. Illustrated with examinations of seminal films including Pulp Fiction , Blade Runner , and 2001 - A Space Odyssey , Chris Hauke and Ian Alister, along with an excellent array of contributors, look at how Jungian ideas can help us understand films and the genres to which they belong. The book also includes a glossary to help readers with Jungian terminology. Taking a fresh look at an ever-changing medium, Jung and Film is essential reading for academics and students of analytical psychology, as well as film, media and cultural studies.

Reviews

[Steve Ellerhoff · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic collection of essays that pitched post-Jungian film studies forward with a great lob in 2001, it stands the test of time and remains valuable for anyone working on this kind of scholarship.
