Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman: From Freud to Lacan and Beyond - Paperback
by Vanessa Sinclair (Editor)
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman presents a contemporary Freudian-Lacanian assessment of this classic director. This collection is the first to bring together this unique psychological perspective on Bergman's work.
While Bergman and his films have been written about throughout the decades, until now there has not been a collection anthologizing Freudian-Lacanian perspectives on his work. Vanessa Sinclair brings together an international community of scholars and practicing psychoanalysts - some of whom are also filmmakers - to reflect on Bergman's films, life, and work in philosophical, historical, and cultural contexts. They assess individual films in depth, compare multiple films, and focus on Bergman's life and work in a cultural context. This book includes chapters on seminal films including Persona and The Silence.
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman will be essential reading for academics and students of film studies, psychoanalytic theory, and Lacan, and of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
