Ingmar Bergman Revisited is a collection of new essays based on
a major international symposium held in Stockholm in 2005 on the
legacy of one of cinema's most towering figures. Moving beyond
simple auteurist readings of Bergman as a cinematic artist, the
writings here evaluate the theatrical and literary sides of
Bergman's work to reconsider the achievements of the Swedish
director, up to his last film "Saraband" (2003). Several essays
result from research in Bergman's own personal archive, and amongst
the subjects discussed are Bergman's stage adaptations of
Shakespeare, his fascination with still photography and issues of
identity, and the influence of philosophy and psychology on his
work. With contributors including Thomas Elsaesser, Birgitta Steene
and Janet Staiger, and a foreword written by Liv Ullmann, Ingmar
Bergman Revisited forms a landmark study of one of Sweden's great
cultural icons, emphasising how Bergman should be understood with
reference to an eclectic range of his artistic interests.
