Joseph Campbell: Mythos I is the lecture series the comparative mythology expect conducted shortly before his death about myth and psychology. It's dry and scholarly, and sadly seems to cut away just as it starts to get good. Playing like a seminar or college course, it's not much to look at. Evidently, that's the way he wanted it. He talks about Navajo Indians, Jung, Dante, sand paintings, Dali, occasionally points to various pictures, diagrams and drawings, and every once in a while Susan Sarandon puts her two cents in and reads from a cue card. Overall, it's still brainy and fascinating stuff, and recommended if you like that sort of thing. I watched it on Netflix.
Sorry, there doesn't seem to be a clip.
