Hello all:
For a project on Ingmar Bergman’s productive middle period (roughly the 1960s) would you have any suggestions on recent scholarship?
The interest here is particularly with analyses of his films from The Silence (1963) to Cries and Whispers (1973). Any and all suggestions are welcomed!
But we did what we could to make the scenes comprehensible. Sometimes it’s actually an advantage not to have too much money.
Ingmar Bergman on The Silence
Cheers.

Dear Torgeir,
Perhaps this is too late now but in case you are still looking, I wrote my masters thesis on the use of silence in the films of Bergman and Andrei Tarkovsky. I have a chapter dedicated to The Silence. You can it access here: https://www.academia.edu/7553371/Compositions_of_crisis_Sound_and_silence_in_the_films_of_Bergman_and_Tarkovsky
Cheers,
