Whether in iconic Australian works such as \u003ci\u003ePicnic at Hanging Rock\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGallipoli\u003c\/i\u003e or international mainstream thrillers such as \u003ci\u003eWitness\u003c\/i\u003e, Weir has deliberately created mystical movie experiences. Modern cinema studies is used to dissecting films on the basis of gender, class or race: now, for the first time, Richard Leonard shows that a mystical gaze also exists and is exercised in the secular multiplex temples of today. \u003ci\u003eThe Mystical Gaze of the Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e is a meticulous and accessible book that uses a psychoanalytic approach incorporating the insights of Jung, film theory and theology to break new ground in what continues to be a hot topic in cinema studies: the spectator\/screen relationship. Leonard provides a fresh and innovative perspective on what happens when we behold a film.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241903800478,"sku":"HPC-9780522856620","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522856620.jpg?v=1780360931","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522856620","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
