Publisher's Synopsis
Ingmar Bergman's career as a director/screenwriter spanned more than 40 years, during which time he produced such acknowledged classics as The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Persona, Cries and Whispers and Fanny and Alexander. To write this book, Ingmar Bergman rescreened all of his films, many of which he had not seen since their release. He recounts the making of the films and explores the themes that bind them together, the preoccupations, the anguish, the conflicts. He comments brilliantly and unsparingly on his successes as well as his perceived failures.
