Arrival and the Myth of Eternal Time
Most aliens-on-earth movies move towards destruction, usually of the planet-wide kind, but the crux of Arrival is creation: the writing of a word, the beginning of a bond, the start of a life.—Craig Mathieson (2016 Mathieson, C. (2016). Arrival review: Sci-fi turned inside out as alien contact gets personal.

Unconscious Figures and Otherness
The core dynamic of Alex Garland’s Ex Machina centers on three characters. Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), a mogul of insatiable appetites, owns and controls BlueBook, an online social media corporation comparable to Google or Facebook.

Obsessed by the ambition to invent post-human intelligence, he has buil…

Grieving, Therapy, Cinema and Kieslowski’s Trois Couleurs
Cultural associations with red are potent. They include blood and intense passion, injury and death, love and life; and all these are authentic indications of Kieslowski’s themes. Yet, in this film, the connotations of the color are not exclusively traditional because the heroine, a model, will have her image displayed on a gigantic scarlet billboard to promote bubble gum. The model's glamorous, color-saturated but transient world and the gray ex…
Grieving, Therapy, Cinema, and Kieslowski’s Trois Couleurs
This analysis of Kieslowski’s Trois Couleurs: Blanc prioritizes Winnicottian theory in accounting for the arrested development of the film’s tepid hero, Karol, and his recourse, in the interest of survival, to a false self. That aspect of the paper complements a Jungian examination of the collective significance of this chameleon figure. Trickster-like and alternating between unctuous ingratiation and bullish exuberance, he finds himself contribu…
