MANEZ-AROCAS, Constantino    CABEDO-GARCIA, Vicente Ramón. Pathological jealousy in cinematographic discourse. []. , 18, 3, pp.205-224.   07--2022. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc.27035.

We make a selection of films about pathological jealousy looking for quality films, from different sources and times of production.

Finally, we analyze eight films from the United States (4), Mexico, Italy, France and South Korea, by very different directors made from 1927 to 2005, but all of them present us with the characteristics of jealousy with their triggers and typical reactions of anxiety, harassment, surveillance, persecution, violent episodes, sometimes delusions and hallucinations and often with a tragic ending.

The visualization and analysis of these films can be useful for teaching in health sciences and can also help to know and prevent situations derived from unhealthy jealousy.
