Using movies to explore the unconscious realms of society in order to reach a better understanding of what drives it, this book examines filmmakers and films that center on schizophrenic themes of alienation, paranoia, breakdown, fantasy, dreams, dementia and violence, and that address--as entertainment--the schizophrenic experience. The loss of individual identity as reflected in the films is investigated, as well as the shamanic potential inherent in the broader theme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895902044448,"sku":"NEW0786444231","price":35.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71dNbbnpcCL.jpg?v=1782041988","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-secret-life-of-movies-schizophrenic-and-shamanic-journeys-in-american-cinema-0786444231","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
