It is the argument of this study that, although High Fidelity is not necessarily high art or even a profoundly serious film, it does present, like much of the best popular art, an insightful and honest examination of a real modern dilemma: the difficulty of intimate relationships in a world where every emotion and every remark seems to have a pop culture reference or origin. This film presents, we will show, a complex and detailed portrait of a particular modern personality type, the narcissistic youth who turns into an overage Peter Pan incapable of commitment; more significantly, however, the film (and the book from which it was adapted) suggests a way out of this dilemma for the protagonist, who ultimately succeeds in overcoming his self-absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45150909628567,"sku":"9780595318049","price":1076.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780595318049.webp?v=1767296064","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/narcissism-in-high-fidelity-9780595318049","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
