Ebook: Myth, Mind and the Screen: Understanding the Heroes of our Time

Izod concisely lays out a method of approaching films using Jungian interpretation. Much has been written on film interpretation from a Freudian viewpoint. The field of Jungian film interpretation is growing rapidly in popularity. His chapter on pop stars-particularly Madonna as trickster is excellent. I can also recommend his chapter interpreting Silence of the Lambs.This is a book written for serious Jungian scholars. However for those needing a quick overview Izod does a nice job of explicating the basics of Jungian theory. Izod's interpretations are good and it is clear he has a passion for film and Jungian theory. All in all a very interesting book!
