This book explores the representation of the idea or theme of
redemption in contemporary, popular film. The discussion focuses
primarily on the work of three directors - Clint Eastwood, Martin
Scorsese and Kore-eda Hirokazu - but also considers a few films
from other directorial hands. David Rankin divides the notion of
personal redemption into transactional and transformational
aspects, differentiating between redemption, understood as that
which is external to the person but impacting on their being and
environment, and that which is internal to the person. Redemption
is viewed broadly as a journey from brokenness to wholeness, from
imprisonment to release, or from some form of slavery to freedom.
Both secular and religious (especially Christian) understandings of
the notion are discussed, and consideration is given to how the
former might inform the latter.
