FINDING VALUE IN NONVIABLE LOVE RELATIONSHIPS
Film is a medium that explores frustration at least as often as it allows us the pleasure of seeing wishes gratified. According to a Jungian vision, development of the anima or animus begins when an attempt to sustain a loving connection doesn’t behave according to expectation, and this is as true in homoerotic as in heteroerotic relationships, and when neither sex nor gender expectations learned in the past even apply. John Beebe has chosen two recent films that explore with poignance and clarity promising love relationships that fail to flourish. He will ask us to investigate what they bring up in us now as well as what was put on the postmodern screen by these unusual depictions of the growth of soul in romantic situations that despite brilliant beginnings turn out to be untenable in the long term.
John Beebe is a Jungian analyst and past president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco who has spearheaded a Jungian approach to the analysis of film. In teaching and writing, he has often used psychological type and archetype to explore developments in the cultural and political unconscious. His books include Integrity in Depth and Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type. With Virginia Apperson, he has co-authored The Presence of the Feminine in Film.
