The novel deals with the relationship between parents and children. The main characters are simply referred to as the mother, the father, and the girl. Although they appear nameless, Ullmann’s parents are easily identifiable as the Swedish director, author, and producer Ingmar Bergman, and the Norwegian actress, author, and director Liv Ullmann. The novel alternates between a third-person perspective and a first-person narrative written from the girl’s point of view as she grows into adulthood. The mother, the father, and the girl do not constitute a family in the ordinary sense: “Jeg var hans barn og hennes barn, men ikke deres barn, det var aldri oss tre” (Ullmann 2015, 10) [“I was his child and her child, but not their child, it was never us three” (Ullmann 2019, 4)]. The girl suffers from the way things are: “Egentlig tror jeg at jeg har sørget over foreldrene mine hele livet” (2015, 74) [“To be honest, I think I have mourned my parents all my life” (2019, 68)]. In focusing on the relationship between parents and children, De urolige resembles other autobiographical novels recently published in Norway: Knausgård (2009), Wassmo (2013), Hjorth (2016), to mention only a few.

In a radio interview conducted just before the premiere of Jungfrukällan in 1960, Bergman says that he first read the source ballad while in university, from Sverker Ek’s 1924 anthology Den svenska folkvisan (The Swedish Ballad), where its title is “Töres dotter i Vänge” (The Daughter of Töre in Vänge).1 Bergman first considered producing a version for the ballet, but then, while on the set of Smultronstället (1957; Wild Strawberries), he decided instead to make a film adaptation (Billquist 1960, 206). He sent the ballad to Isaksson, with whom he worked on his next film, Nära livet (1958; Brink of Life or Close to Life), about three women in a maternity ward. Ulla Isaksson wrote the screenplay for Brink of Life based on two short stories she had published in 1954.2 In 1957, Bergman had scripted and directed another now classic film based on a medieval subject, Det sjunda inseglet (The Seventh Seal), so film critics have sought to explain why he turned to Isaksson for the equally medieval-themed Virgin Spring. Bergman himself said that sometimes (in those days) he just","PeriodicalId":44446,"journal":{"name":"SCANDINAVIAN STUDIES","volume":"14 4","pages":"118 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41303656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
