Queer Bergman : sexuality, gender, and the European art cinema / Daniel Humphrey.

Foregrounding a fundamental aspect of the Swedish auteur's work that has been routinely ignored, as well as highlighting the vibrant connection between postwar American queer culture and European art cinema, this book offers a pioneering reading of Bergman's films as profoundly queer work.
