"This collection presents the latest scholarship on legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Appearing in the wake of Bergman's centenary year, it combines original approaches to his films and writings with new research on established themes. Among the areas explored are Bergman's dealings with Hollywood and the use of autobiographical writing in his later work. Several chapters look at the director's sophisticated treatment of film music, while others offer new reflections on his interest in philosophy and psychology. There are analyses of aspects of Bergman's most famous films, including Smiles of a Summer Night, Persona and Fanny and Alexander, as well as insightful readings of lesser-known works, such as Saraband and Sawdust and Tinsel. The book closes with two chapters that consider Bergman's complicated relationship with Swedish politics. Assembling an international group of distinguished film scholars, Ingmar Bergman: An enduring legacy demonstrates that there is still much to be said about this intriguing filmmaker, whose name remains synonymous with the cinematic artform more than a decade after his death." -- Back cover.
