The original Ingmar Bergman influenced a generation of film scholars and cineastes after its publication in 1969 and remains one of the most important volumes on the director. This new edition of Ingmar Bergman, edited by film scholar Barry Keith Grant, contains all of Wood's original text plus four later pieces on the director by Wood that were intended for a new volume that was not completed before Wood's death in 2010.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In analyzing a selection of Bergman's films, Wood makes a compelling case for the logic of the filmmaker's development while still respecting and indicating the distinctiveness of his individual films. Wood's emphasis on questions of value (What makes a work important? How does it address our lives?) informed his entire career and serve as the basis for many of these chapters. In the added material for this new edition, Wood considers three important films Bergman made after the book was first published-\u003cem\u003eCries and Whispers\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFanny and Alexander\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFrom the Life of the Marionette\u003c\/em\u003es-and also includes significant reassessment of Persona. These pieces provocatively suggest the more political directions Wood might have taken had he been able to produce Ingmar Bergman Revisited, as he had planned to do before his death.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In its day, Ingmar Bergman was one of the most important volumes on the Swedish director published in English, and it remains compelling today despite the multitude of books to appear on the director since. Film scholars and fans of Bergman's work will enjoy this updated volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Wood was a founding editor of \u003ci\u003eCineAction! \u003c\/i\u003eand author of numerous works, including \u003ci\u003ePersonal Views: Explorations in Film\u003c\/i\u003e (Wayne State University Press, 2006) and \u003ci\u003eHoward Hawks\u003c\/i\u003e (Wayne State University Press, 2006).
