The association between Swedish film and sexuality shows up frequently in popular culture. From \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver\u003c\/i\u003e (1976) to \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e (2007-2015), dirty Swedish movie references abound. Yet the connection has attracted little critical attention. In this collection of new essays, Swedish and American scholars go beyond popular misconceptions to explore the origins, influences and reception of sexuality in Swedish cinema during the \"\"sexual revolution\"\" on both sides of the Atlantic. A broad range of topics are covered, from analyses of key films, to a behind-the-scenes study of the Swedish Film Institute, which played a significant role in opposing Swedish film censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElisabet Björklund\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in film studies at Linnaeus University in Växjö. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMariah Larsson\u003c\/b\u003e has taught sexuality studies at Malmö University and is a senior lecturer in film studies at Linnaeus University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.9 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42168662261895,"sku":"9781476665443","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f6ff8c43ec8cbb4b1751171dd1b2c303.webp?v=1733336879","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/swedish-cinema-and-the-sexual-revolution-critical-essays-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
