Mai Elizabeth Zetterling (1925-94) is among the most exceptional postwar female filmmakers.
Born in Sweden, she lived in England and France for most of her life, making her directorial
debut in 1964 with the Swedish art film 'Loving Couples' after a fraught transition
from working in front of the camera as a successful actress.0Critics have compared
her work to that of Ingmar Bergman, Luis Bunuel, and Federico Fellini, but Zetterling
had a distinct style-alternately radical and reactionary-that straddled the gendered
divide between high art and mass culture. Tackling themes of sexuality, isolation,
and creativity, her documentaries, short and feature films, and television works are
visually striking. Her oeuvre provoked controversy and scandal through her sensational
representations of reproduction and motherhood.0Mariah Larsson provides a lively and
authoritative take on Zetterling's legacy and complicated position within film and
women's history. 'A Cinema of Obsession' provides necessary perspective on how the
breadth of an artist's collected works keeps gatekeepers from recognizing their achievements,
and questions why we still distinguish between national and global visual cultures
and the big and small screens in the #MeToo era
