    Francisco enters the mind of Carl Jung to analyze how society today does not encourage the integration of the different parts of the self but rather keeps us unaware of our potential by encouraging the isolated and fractured self that results in a kind of quiet desperation.

  3. What Has Happened to Film Criticism?

    What Has Happened to Film Criticism?

    In this podcast, Francisco reflects on the shifts in film criticism that have almost entirely eliminated the role of the critic as the one who analyzes the aesthetic and intellectual value of a film. The role of the critic has changed into one that primarily discusses the financial viability of a film over a film's aesthetic and social value in society. This shift conflates the art of film with the craft of making the film and leaves the deeper and more important questions of a film's aesthetic and intellectual value entirely untouched.

    What is the Psychological Allure of Film?

    Francisco reflects on the allure of performances of great actors such as Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle in the film Taxi Driver or Humphrey Bogart as Dixon Steele In a Lonely Place. While most of us cannot relate to the experience of vigilante violence or the challenges of an antisocial personality disorder, we are drawn to the entertainment value of these films where we may also gain an insight into dark and violent psychological experiences from the safety of a movie theater or in our own living rooms.
