Sonatas, Screams, and Silence: Music and Sound in the Films of Ingmar Bergmanis the first musical examination of Bergmans style as an auteur filmmaker. It provides a comprehensive examination of all three aspects (music, sound effects, and voice) of Bergmans signature soundtrack-style. Through examinations of Bergmans biographical links to music, the role of music, sound effects, silence, and voice, and Bergmans working methods with sound technicians, mixers, and editors, this book argues that Bergmans soundtracks are as superbly developed as his psychological narratives and breathtaking cinematography. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book bridges the fields of music, sound, and film.
