Todd McGowan

    Todd McGowan analyzes film through the lenses of psychoanalysis and philosophy, exploring how cinematic narratives and aesthetics shape our understanding of desire, reality, and subjectivity. His work often delves into the oeuvres of prominent filmmakers to uncover the deeper psychological and philosophical underpinnings of their creations. McGowan's approach is marked by an interdisciplinary examination that bridges film theory, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and critical theory. His aim is to offer fresh insights into how cinema helps us navigate the complexities of the human psyche and societal structures.
