{"product_id":"ingmar-bergmans-face-to-face-michael-tapper-9780231176538","title":"Ingmar Bergman's Face to Face","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1976 premiere of \u003ci\u003eFace to Face\u003c\/i\u003e came at the height of director-screenwriter Ingmar Bergman's career. Prestigious awards and critical acclaim had made him into a leading name in European art cinema, yet today \u003ci\u003eFace to Face\u003c\/i\u003e is a largely overlooked and dismissed work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book tells the story of its rise and fall. It presents a new portrait of Bergman as a political artist exploring a new medium with huge public impact: television. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen, feminism, and alternative psychotherapy, he made a series of portraits of the modern bourgeois family focusing on the plight of women; \u003ci\u003eFace to Face\u003c\/i\u003e followed in the tracks of \u003ci\u003eThe Lie \u003c\/i\u003e(1970) and \u003ci\u003eScenes from a Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e (1973). By his workbooks, engagement planners, and other archival material, we can trace his investigation into the heart of repressive family structures to eventually glimpse a way out. This volume culminates in an extensive study of the two-year process from the first outlines of the screenplay to the reception and aftermath of \u003ci\u003eFace to Face\u003c\/i\u003e. It thus offers a unique insight into Bergman's world, his ideas and artistry during a turbulent time in cinema history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Tapper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231176538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231176538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Tapper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159192826111,"sku":"9780231176538","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ee7e7a0-141f-45fa-a6e2-5e84d257c1ed.jpg?v=1689081160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ingmar-bergmans-face-to-face-michael-tapper-9780231176538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
