In this volume, Coleman looks at the writers, directors, and actors who have faced the mood swings and behavior that are hallmarks of this condition--from Greta Garbo and Orson Welles to Marilyn Monroe and Jonathan Winters. 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, Rebel without a Cause, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hannah and Her Sisters, The Aviator, and Silver Linings Playbook. From early silents of the twentieth 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 filmography of more than 400 feature-length films from around the world with themes or characters relating to manic depressive illness. Though aimed at film fans and anyone interested in manic depression, mental illness, or related medical studies, this book will also prove valuable to medical and mental health professionals"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Manic-depressive illness in motion pictures. 650 12 $a Bipolar Disorder. 650 12 $a Mentally Ill Persons. 650 22 $a Motion Pictures as Topic. 650 22 $a Medicine in Art. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202021739.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA9736DAF70511E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
