This book provides an innovative analysis of the survival movie
genre from an Orthodox Christian anthropological perspective.
Grounded in the Orthodox tradition, the approach builds from the
first chapter of Genesis where man is described as made in the
'image' and after the 'likeness' of God. It offers a nuanced
theological exploration of the concept of the survival movie and
examines a number of significant cinematic creations, illustrating
how issues of survival intersect romantic, Western, science fiction
and war films. The author reflects on how survival movies offer a
path for the study of human nature given they depict people in
crisis situations where they may reveal their true characters. As
well as discussing the role of a 'limit situation' as a narrative
element, the book highlights the spiritual aspect of survival and
points to the common hope in survival movies for something more
than biological survival. Itis valuable reading for scholars
working in the field of religion and film.
