As the article points out, before Marketaki's film, mainstream Greek cinema portrayed Corfu from a tourist perspective, with a few unconventional productions showing the island in an unflattering light. In The Price of Love, Marketaki departed from these traditions by capturing the island's beauty in pictorial compositions, giving it a fairytale quality. She combined this fairytale charm with Theotokis's social criticism and changed or added scenes to Honour and Money that expanded Theotokis's political commentary or gave it psychoanalytic dimensions. Marketaki's Corfu, the article argues, is a setting where significant social differences and Jung's universal, archetypal opposites intersect. The Price of Love thus encourages viewers to see the island in a new light and prompts a broader consideration of audiovisual representations of islands as part of a dialogue with previous or contemporary reconstructions and other disciplines. The article supports its argument through a comparative analysis of the film and the novel, also drawing material from Marketaki's archive. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Shima is the property of Philip Hayward and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
