How can psychoanalysis and psychotherapeutic ways of thinking contribute to our understanding of the meanings, features, effects and affects of film and cinema in an emotive culture? Does the development of high quality screens and sound for the home privatise the formerly public emotional experience of cinema? Do major films work as containers that interpret our culture in more or less manageable ways? How does successful marketing of some films generate expectations and investments in certain movies which only lead to disappointment? There are many, many questions to discuss. Start a thread.
