Having had the cd collection for some years it was with some excitement that I watched the cd. As extraordinary as Joseph Campbell's voice is, with it's lyrical nuances for his subject, being able to also see his face, watch his eyes as he talked with infectious enthusiasm from his vast knowledge store - this was a treasure.
This cd/dvd ranks as one of my top 5 most important encounters in my life (I am now 66). His breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding and his uniquely human methodology of transferring this to a listener/viewer is superb.Rarely can anyone have dealt with such potentially archaic and disinteresting (for the modern world) data in such an inspiring way. Indeed, thanks to J Campbell, Myth,Fable and Folklore have been re-instated in society as (to quote him quoting Jung) 'archetypes of the subconscious'.
I challenge you not to find something of value, interest and inspiration in these amazing talks given by a natural and gifted communicator with a passion for his topic that is neither 'other-worldly' nor arrogant..

Please do not pre order this DVD; wait until Acorn Media REALLY ship this DVD.
Why? Simple! Acorn have failed to ship Joseph Campbell's MYTHOS 2 (MYTHOS II) DVD since it was availible to pre-order in 2008.
See the reviews of THAT debacle here: Joseph Campbell: Mythos II [DVD]
I bought a region 1 version of that product and I also have a region 1 copy of this DVD which have made me happy to be a recipient of Campbell's insightful wisdom.
What I aim to express here is my resentment at Acorn Media for telling Porkies about its release dates and its sluggishness in bringing these wonderful works to (UK) market. Errors and Omissions Excepted.
<Edit> Rating adjusted from 1 to 3 stars on shipping of dvd. I would happily raise it to 5 stars if Mythos II were also shippable now.
