This Week's Film:
This week's film (U.S., 2000) is being presented in conjunction with Betsy Lewis' exploration of the Dark Night of the Soul through the arts in the Rogue Valley.
"An exploration of human survival and the ability of fate to alter even the tidiest of lives with one major event, this film tells the story of a Federal Express engineer who devotes most of his life to his troubleshooting job. En route to an assignment, a plane crash strands him on a remote island, and his fast-paced life is slowed to a crawl, as he is miles removed from any human contact. Finding solace only in a volleyball that he befriends, he must now learn to endure the emotional and physical stress of his new life, unsure of when he may return to the civilization he knew before." This film acts as a perfect metaphor for the Dark Night of the Soul, as we "cast away" our old self to make way for a new one, and how we might survive the process and ultimately thrive in its aftermath.
