Apologies if updates are a bit intermittent over the next few days, but I’m in Nice, in the lovely South of France, at the European Congress of Psychiatry.
I’m here to teach a course on ‘Phenomenology, Cinema and Psychosis’ with psychiatrist Andrea Raballo and psychologist Frank Lar√∏i.
You can try and work out which of us is which from the picture on the left.
I’m not sure how internet access is going to work out, but I should try and get you some updates from the conference at the very least.
Psychosis related movies, which I know:
Donnie darko (Where this picture are also from), Beautiful mind, The machinist, Pi, Inland empire?
Other psychology related: Awekenings, Rainman
Memento
Some related Finnish films: Koti-ik√§v√§ (Mental institution), Suden vuosi (Epilepsy)
Surely Fight Club also falls under that category
