If you loved this movie,you will love this book. Chachere's penetrating analysis of a modern classic asks deep questions as we confront the dilemmas of our age:"What do we do with our agression? Our anger? Our rage? How do we lose the madness? How do we honor the feminine in the right way? What goes so wrong in our families,in our relationships?" And--in keeping with the spirit of this film and the novella by Jim Harrison--"What is the healing role of wild nature and its animals?" Ultimately, as Chachere suggests,this story of the Ludlow family affirms life, wonderfully and with great dignity and redemption, and we are invited to participate fully as we follow the film and its soundtrack step by step. As Jung once wrote,"There is deep doctrine in the legend of the fall" and here, Richard Chachere proves it.
