Abstract

Examensarbetet analyserar hur religion är placerad i några av Ingmar Bergmans filmer. Det fokuserar på de följande filmerna: Det sjunde inseglet (Det sjunde inseglet, 1957), Såsom i en spegel (Såsom i en spegel, 1961), Nattvardsgästerna (Nattvardsgästerna,1963), Tystnaden (Tystnaden, 1963) och Fanny och Alexander (Fanny och Alexander, 1982). En parallell mellan Bergmans användning av religion och Gud med hans barndom och tidiga fientlighet mot religion observeras. Att analysera hur de tidigare nämnda filmerna behandlar religion på ett liknande men ändå kontrasterande sätt är den huvudsakliga och viktigaste delen av examensarbetet.

Abstract (english)

The paper analyzes religion in a couple of different films by Ingmar Bergman. It focuses on the films: The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet, 1957), Through a Glass Darkly (Såsom i en spegel, 1961), Winter Light (Nattvardsgästerna, 1963), The Silence (Tystnaden, 1963) and Fanny and Alexander (Fanny och Alexander, 1982). The paper will observe the obvious parallel between the way Bergman uses the motifs of religion and God with his childhood and early enmity towards religion. The main part of the paper will deal with the analysis of the ways in which the aforementioned films deal with the motif of religion in a similar yet contrasting way. It will chronologically follow how the motif of religion changed throughout Bergman's work and, despite being supported by Bergman's autobiographical literature and films with autobiographical elements, the paper will not try to offer an answer to why Bergman uses the motifs of religion and God in the ways he does, but rather how he does it.

Abstract (croatian)

Rad se bavi analizom motiva religije u filmovima Ingmara Bergmana, fokusirajući se na filmove: Sedmi pečat (Det sjunde inseglet, 1957), Kroz tamno ogledalo (Såsom i en spegel, 1961), Pričesnici (Nattvardsgästerna,1963), Tišina (Tystnaden, 1963) te Fanny i Alexander (Fanny och Alexander, 1982). Rad će istaknuti paralelu između načina na koji Bergman koristi motive religije i Boga s njegovim djetinjstvom i ranim neprijateljstvom s religijom. Glavni dio rada baviti će se analizom načina na koji se prethodno navedeni filmovi odnose prema religiji na sličan, no kontrastivan način. Kronološki će pratiti kako se položaj motiva religije mijenjao kroz Bergmanovo stvaralaštvo. Unatoč tome što je poduprijet Bergmanovom autobiografskom literaturom te filmovima s autobiografskim elementima, rad neće pokušati ponuditi odgovor zašto Bergman koristi motive religije i Boga na načine koje koristi već kako.
