Through archival excerpts from his finest filmed lectures interwoven with exquisite images and evocative music from around the world, renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell takes us on a journey of transcendence and illumination, a trip through the mythological symbols and sagas left by our ancient forebears. What is revealed en route is “mankind’s one great story,” the grand drama played out by all cultures on all continents since time immemorial. This saga “projected” on the screen of the universe is the mythic adventure that became Campbell’s “Sukhavati,” what he passionately embraced as his life’s work, his place of bliss.Created by Maxine Harris and Sheldon Rochlin, with the enthusiastic support of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, this hypnotic and mesmerizing film is a deeply personal, almost spiritual, portrait of Campbell, told in his own words, in his twilight years, at the summit of his career and the apex of his intellectual powers. Through it, this great American thinker is still “joyfully participating in the sorrows of the world.” |
