Ian McEwan’s novel gets a fabulously acted screenplay in Enduring Love. The trip into the underworld of Hades is remarkably illustrated in the life of the thinker/professor and the feeler/artist and the unbalanced shadow function of the psyche. Much to meditate upon and hopefully avoid in the journey from the head to the heart.

They are power centers which have their own, unique way of affecting us and our environment. They make their own rules of conduct.
