Abstract
Human existence is one essential theme in the modern art. As a representative of the modern film art, Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman probed into the depth of despair and danger, exposing, through cinematic means, all the disguises of language, revealing the true circumstances of human existence. Bergman's representative works of different periods such as Persona, Autumn Sonata and The Life of Puppets reflected his artistic aspiration, which may be summarized as to unravel the pompous disguise of language, pierce through the frantic illusions of sexuality under the duress of power, and reveal the raging violence underlying close human ties.
