The importance of the human face in the work of Ingmar Bergman

Hi!

The essay prompt is:

The human face is, both stylistically and thematically, a fundamental trait of Bergman’s authorship. Discuss this statement in relation to specific scenes and sequences of your choice from the films discussed in class and with the support of your readings (you are encouraged to identify useful articles and book chapters beyond our weekly readings). You need to explain the ways in which meaning is articulated through close-up shots and in relation to a more symbolic meaning of the human face in Bergman’s films

Please try not to refer to The Seventh Seal or Wild Strawberries as much as possible as I referred to them in my previous essay
