Rezensionen

"The book titled "Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman: A Freudian-Lacanian Lens" edited by Vanessa Sinclair represents a particularly interesting contribution considering Igmar Bergman's works. Through well conducted Freudian-Lacanian analyses, the authors involved in the work presented new perspectives increasing the psychodynamic impact of Bergman's pieces. In particular, some specific themes as in the case of perversion, neurosis, psychosis, ethics and sexuality, as well as literary references, are read through the above-mentioned lens in order to establish deep contacts with clinical and dynamic emergencies. As a valuable contribution, the book proposes relevant perspectives from high level professionals, providing for a clear and considerable view of psychoanalytical impact and valour."- Emanuele Maria Merlo PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Contract Professor of Clinical Psychology for Department of Human and Pediatric Pathology "Gaetano Barresi" and Department of Cognitive Sciences, Education and Cultural Studies of the University of Messina, Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalytic approach, Clinical Advisor for Software Engineering Italia.

"Ingmar Bergman is acknowledged as one of the world's greatest film-makers. Vanessa Sinclair has assembled a wide-ranging and stimulating volume of essays by psychoanalysts, scholars and film-makers that for the first time focuses on ways in which psychoanalysis from Freud to Lacan and beyond can help illuminate Bergman's films. Life, death,identity, sexual and family relationships come under fascinating psychoanalytical scrutiny in discussions of Bergman's dreamlike art. This is a volume that will be essential reading for anyone seriously interested both in Bergman's films and in cinema's potential for the exploration of creativity, denial and desire."- Peter William Evans, Emeritus Professor of Film, Queen Mary University of London
