Rezensionen

"Brilliantly confirms what we have been suspecting all along - that film studies drawing on Jungian psychology is a genuine advance, here to stay, and capable of extending itself across several generations of authors. Helena Bassil-Morozow approaches the key contemporary question of the relations between individual and crowd via a creative intermingling of a profound engagement with Burton's films and Jung's idea of individuation. The monster we meet in book and film sets off something massive in everyone - that's what this level of writing about the archetypal can do." - Andrew Samuels, University of Essex, UK
