Koskinen (cinema studies, U. of Stockholm) analyzes in detail Swedish director's 1963 film, integrating his own written comments and descriptions, accounts by others, the screenplay and other
documents, and the film itself in progress and in finished form. Among other aspects, she considers the art of reinventing authorship, nudity and power relations between director and actress,
from word to sound, senses and synesthetics of the published screenplay, paintings and tableaux vivants, and the eroticism of vision in mirrors and doorways. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc.,
