Product Description

Review

"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

Product Description

Tim Burton’s films are well known for being complex and emotionally powerful. In this book, Helena Bassil-Morozow employs Jungian and post-Jungian concepts of unconscious mental processes along with film semiotics, analysis of narrative devices and cinematic history, to explore the reworking of myth and fairytale in Burton’s gothic fantasy world.

The book explores the idea that Burton’s lonely, rebellious ‘monstrous’ protagonists roam the earth because they are unable to fit into the normalising tendencies of society and become part of ‘the crowd’. Divided into six chapters the book considers the concept of the archetype in various settings focusing on:

  • the child
  • the monster
  • the superhero
  • the genius
  • the maniac
  • the monstrous society.

Tim Burton: The Monster and the Crowd offers an entirely fresh perspective on Tim Burton’s works. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of film or Jungian psychology, as well as anyone interested in critical issues in contemporary culture. It will also be of great help to those fans of Tim Burton who have been searching for a profound academic analysis of his works.

Excellent 3 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
Easy to read yet detailed, I would recommend this book to film students, those interested in Jungian analysis and those seeking a greater understanding of Burton's films in general. It is an enjoyable, thought provoking and informative book.

Format:Paperback
Very interesting approach not only to Tim Burton's films, but also to psychology theories and self-knowledgment. if you are a Tim Burton`s fan you would think it's is a book about his movies, but it is not. The concept gets deeper into the psychology of the protagonists and the way we, spectators, feel close to them in our daily relation with society. Very interesting and easy-to-read work.

Immensely readable 11 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
I must admit that academic books about my favourite subjects usually tend to leave me feeling cold; however this fascinating study of Burton and his works is immensely readable and informative, drawing on many wide and varied sources. It is both an excellent introduction to Jungian theory and a welcome appraisal of one of the most popular auteurs of our time.
