Review of Annihilation (2018) by Adam-Kai W — 14 Mar 2018
A movie you will only fully understand if you'e aware of the Jungian psychological framework and themes at play (such as ego, the shadow self, archetypes, collective unconscious etc). This is a fascinating visual trip into the unconscious mind.
Unfortunately, some reviewers are unaware of the symbolism being used and are unable to interpret the film correctly which leads to them thinking the film ''doesn't make sense'' - the fear this film was 'too intellectual' for cinema release worldwide was clearly a valid concern.
A brief introduction to Carl Jung's Depth Psychology will set you up to enjoy this masterpiece.
