Ingmar Bergman's rich legacy as film director and writer of
classics such as The Seventh Seal, Scenes From a Marriage, and
Fanny and Alexander has attracted scholars not only in film studies
but also of literature, theater, gender, philosophy, religion,
sociology, musicology, and more. Less known, however, is Bergman
from the perspective of production studies, including all the
choices, practices, and routines involved in what goes on behind
the scenes. For instance, what about Bergman's collaborations and
conflicts with film producers? What about his work with musicians
at the opera, technicians in the television studio, and actors on
the film set. What about Bergman and MeToo? In order to throw light
on these issues, art practitioners such as film directors Ang Lee
and Margarethe von Trotta, film and opera director Atom Egoyan, and
film producer and screenwriter James Schamus are brought together
with academics such as philosopher and film scholar Paisley
Livingston, musicologist Alexis Luko, and playwright and
performance studies scholar Allan Havis to discuss Bergman's work
from their unique perspectives. In addition, Ingmar Bergman at the
Crossroads provides, for the first time, in-depth interviews with
Bergman's longtime collaborators Katinka Farago and Mans
Reutersward, who both have first-hand experience of working
intimately as producers in film and television with Bergman,
covering more than 5 decades. In an open exchange between
individual and institutional perspectives, this book bridges the
often-rigid boundaries between theoreticians and practitioners, in
turn pointing Bergman studies in new directions.
