Carl Jung's Red Book Explained

It began in black notebooks, in 1913: Carl Jung wrote down what he met in his own imagination, a practice he later called active imagination. He reworked that material into a red leather folio of 205 finished pages, in calligraphy and images, and it reached readers only in 2009. The film follows one into the other.

Twenty-four pages that follow the film's eight chapters, with a timeline from 1913 to 2009, advice on the two editions and questions for a slower reading.
