Klein, Sartre and Imagination in the Films of Ingmar Bergman cover

This book explores connections between the diverse ideas of Melanie Klein, Jean-Paul Sartre and Ingmar Bergman. These ideas are explored in relation to their shared focus on imagination and through detailed readings of a number of Bergman's key films.

'This welcome and original study provides a stimulating investigation into the imagination and how the processes of imagining (dreams, memories, nightmares and visions) are manifested in Bergman's films. Williams' unique insight into the confluences and discrepancies between philosophy and psychoanalytic theory paves the way for an enlightening exploration of Bergman's films.'
