Film in Sweden: Ingmar Bergman and Society

This book is the third in a series of important monographs which will eventually cover all aspects of Swedish cinema, past and present. There have been many studies of Ingmar Bergman, but Maria Bergom-Larsson is the first critic to analyse in depth his ideological relationship to the society surrounding him. She shows how Bergman's films are the product of a troubled bourgeois, one whose strait-laced, Lutheran upbringing has governed his attitudes to his characters and to Swedish daily life.
