Could it Happen There? Ingmar Bergman, Postwar Czechoslovakia, and Delayed Distribution

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article analyses the distribution and reception of Ingmar Bergman&apos;s films using the example of Czechoslovakia, within the Soviet sphere of influence, during the twenty-five years following World War II. First, it aims to examine the forms of distribution of Bergman&apos;s films in Czechoslovakia. The article then shifts to the critical as well as cultural-political reception of two particular films: High Tension (1950) and The Silence (1963). Bergman had an ambivalent reputation in socialist Czechoslovakia, and this article seeks to examine the specific nature of this local discourse. Bergman&apos;s cinema entered Czechoslovakia slowly. Screenings of his films were regularly delayed, emerging, when they did, both long after the Swedish premieres and those of other foreign states. This established a tendency I call &quot;delayed distribution&quot;. This practice, comprising different variations, reflected a complex cultural-political context and negotiations encompassing strict distribution approval processes, contractual obligations, and one-time festival screenings. The interplay of these aspects lead to a level of unpredictability and, at times, surprising distribution solutions.
