This systematic attempt to apply Jungian theory to the analysis of films covers 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Silence of the Lambs and The Piano as well as a variety of cultural icons and products such as Madonna, Michael Jackson and televised sport. Through these and other examples, John Izod demonstrates how Jungian theory can bring new tools to film and media studies and new ways of understanding screen images and narratives.

Reviews & endorsements
'Izod's book is a wonderful addition to the slowly growing number of books relating Jungian psychology to film and modern culture … His background in Jungian and psychoanalytic thought nicely informs a rich, creative summary of the field of psychoanalysis and film and his passion for film and modern media undergirds his analysis of his many excellent examples.' Analytical Psychology
