Mai Zetterling was a pioneer, making her way to the top of the international art cinema of the 1960s, while contributing to a broad path of gender, anti-war, and environmental themes that remains alive today.
As blogger David Cairns recently wrote: “Mai Zetterling's Doktor Glas was the ideological pièce de résistance . . . It had us all talking. About motivation, about patriarchy, about abortion, about murder, about justifications. Any film that can get a room full of people volleying interpretations at each other is worth talking about. Doubly so considering that no one talks about Zetterling.”
