Routledge Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Ingmar Bergman Films

Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman offers a contemporary Freudian-Lacanian assessment of the Swedish master director's most significant works. This is the first collection to bring together psychological analysis from this distinctive perspective on Bergman's cinema. Edited by Vanessa Sinclair, the book gathers an international community of scholars and practising psychoanalysts-many of whom are also filmmakers-to examine Bergman's films, creative life, and artistic vision through psychoanalytic theory. Whether you study film history, psychoanalysis, or Bergman's legacy, this Routledge publication provides fresh interpretations of his groundbreaking directorial achievements and thematic explorations of the human condition.
