Description
Ingmar Bergman's Face to Face explores the intersection of art and politics in 1970s Europe. This book delves into the story behind the premiere of Face to Face, a television series that marked a significant turning point in Bergman's career. Bergman's work was influenced by Henrik Ibsen, feminism, and alternative psychotherapy, as he sought to challenge traditional family structures through his portrayal of modern bourgeois families. The book examines the development of Face to Face, from its initial outlines to its reception and aftermath, offering a unique insight into Bergman's world and artistic vision. Through archival material and analysis, this volume sheds light on Bergman's investigation into repressive family structures and his quest for alternative solutions.
