Book Description
This book analyzes popular American films that point to the need for father atonement, ego-decentering, and the resurrection of the lost feminine to heal gendered cultural wounds, while affirming the role of meaningful suffering, compassion, self-sacrifice and transcendence as an antidote to the inevitable woundedness of the human condition.
