As a psychoanalyst, I’ve been influenced by the teaching of Elvin Semrad who said “Sorrow is the vitamin of growth.”

She sought help from a New York City psychoanalyst, who helped her recall the traumatic events of her girlhood, in part by reading the Swiss diaries and letters from home she had not dared open in more than 40 years.

Ishana is 24, and “The Watchers” shows that she truly is Jung at heart: At times the movie feels as if an eager undergraduate patched it together from the greatest hits of the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung, most notably the forest as both physical and psychological place, the mirror as revelator and the presence of the double.
