Opis

Details the history of dialectical thought from Plato to Jung before turning its focus to the development of character in a century of filmmaking. From Chaplin's Tramp to Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle, it examines more than two dozen cinematic characters governed by dialectic-torn between life and death, opposing desires, moralities and wills, their sense of self threatened by others.
