Description

Arch-mediator between the divine and the mundane, the angel is an enduring figure in the western world.

It has been interpreted as an externalization of repressed fantasies, a projection of the self as other, and a metaphor for modern estrangement.

This book is the first comparative study between sacred medieval images of angels and their cinematic treatment, including reference to both the medieval and modern imaginations.

The text traces the traditional functions of angels and their reworking in film, then takes particular note of new icons like the female angel and others who become models for our connection with transcendence.
