Cinematic Mythmaking by Irving Singer
Mythic themes and philosophical probing in film as an art form, as seen in works of Preston Sturges, Jean Cocteau, Stanley Kubrick, and various other filmmakers.
[Singer's] book is best treated not as any kind of rigorous critical analysis, but rather as a rhapsodic excursion through a gallery of his favourite movies and cinematic themes aimed at sparking off similarly discursive enthusiasms in the readerWriting it, he says, was 'life-enhancing and a great deal of fun'-and it is in that spirit that we are invited to respond. -Times Higher Education
