Call No: 747.73 COLAuthor: Coleman, Dave Source: UKPlace: Lanham, MarylandPublisher: Rowman & LittlefieldPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 367 pages ; 24 cmSubject: MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN FILMS ; DEPRESSION IN FILMS Summary: In The Bipolar Express: Manic Depression and the Movies, David Coleman provides an in-depth examination of the entwined natures of mood disorders and movie making. In this volume, Coleman looks at the writers, directors, and actors who have faced the mood swings and behaviour that are hallmarks of this condition. In addition to recognizing the cinematic contributions of manic depressive filmmakers, the author also looks at movies that have portrayed bipolar disorder- with varying degrees of accuracy- including Citizen Kane, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Aviator, and Silver Linings Playbook.
From early silents of the twentith century through critically acclaimed films of today, this book compares depictions of mood swings on screen with clinical examples of actual manic depression, carefully distinguishing real from stereotypical portrayals. This fascinating study is augmented by a concise filmograohy of more than 400 feature-length films from around the world with themes of characters relating to manic depressive illness. -- Extract taken from the back of the bookNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780810891944Contents: 1.A Brief Overview of Manic Depression and How It Affects Creativity -- 2.The Early Cinema and Mental Illness -- 3.The Golden Age of Silent Films and Manic Depression -- 4.1930s: Bipolar Disorder Speaks at the Movies -- 5.1940s: The Effects of World War II on Bipolar Cinema
