It will, I predict, change the way most serious Bergman critics 'read' this film. Seldom do archive work, decades of experience with a text and its author, and theoretical sophistication come together so fruitfully.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Marilyn Johns Blackwell * Scandinavian-Canadian Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The monograph rests on the opening up of a new resource, the Bergman Archive, and Koskinen deserves our gratitude for her role here, in preserving this unique body of work for public access.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- James B. Tueller * The Northern Mariner *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Koskinen's study of the genesis and enactment of The Silence is quite probably the best Bergman case study ever written. It benefits enormously from the writing notebooks shown to the author by Bergman in 1998 and it is almost literally a study of a masterpiece being born. But it is more than that, for Koskinen highlights context and consequences…. This is a brilliant summary of the relationship between the film's creation and the film itself, and shows that Bergman's writing is itself indefinable, part literary, part cinematic, endlessly battling the forbidding link between word and image with great fertility.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Senses of Cinema *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE Backdrops and Contexts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
