{"product_id":"9780522856620","title":"The Mystical Gaze of the Cinema: The Films of Peter Weir","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Magical', 'out of this world', 'an experience you'll never forget': Peter Weir's films have enthralled audiences around the globe. Whether in iconic Australian works such as \u003ci\u003ePicnic at Hanging Rock\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGallipoli\u003c\/i\u003e or international mainstream thrillers such as \u003ci\u003eWitness\u003c\/i\u003e, Weir has deliberately created mystical movie experiences. Modern cinema studies is used to dissecting films on the basis of gender, class or race: now, for the first time, Richard Leonard shows that a mystical gaze also exists and is exercised in the secular multiplex temples of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mystical Gaze of the Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e is a meticulous and accessible book that uses a psychoanalytic approach incorporating the insights of Jung, film theory and theology to break new ground in what continues to be a hot topic in cinema studies: the spectator\/screen relationship. Leonard provides a fresh and innovative perspective on what happens when we behold a film.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melbourne University Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009321025776,"sku":"9780522856620","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780522856620_p0.jpg?v=1763710531","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780522856620","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
