5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Book for Anyone Drawn to Bergman's Films
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book, begun in 1987 and published in Stockholm in 1990, was originally set up as interviews of Bergman by Lasse Bergstrom. The finished version omitted the questions and was an edited version of Bergman's comments. It's an important book for anyone drawn to Bergman's films. He discusses most of his major work. What I find fascinating is Bergman's discussion of how many of his films were based on seemingly small details or emotional hunches rather than more tightly structured abstract ideas. For example, "Cries and Whispers" (1972) began as an exploration of an image - women in white in a red room. This book is thus a valuable opening into Bergman's creative process.

The introduction by Woody Allen, "The Man Who Asked Hard Questions," is a welcome addition to this paperback reprint edition. It would have been helpful to know that Allen originally published the piece in the New York "Times" after Bergman's death in 2007. The "Times" reprint can be Googled.

Brilliant and tragic. A definitive confessional from film’s great genius. The artist reveals all the background ideas and visions for so many important films. The things he left out of his films are absolutely fascinating. A visionary beyond his time, or any time.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love his films

Quick and interesting read. I love his films, and it was fun to read his thoughts on the films he worked on and his relationships with his actors/actresses. He was so honest in his writing, so it's nice to know what he was thinking especially when it came to his own films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bergman's Images
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014

Ingmar Bergman uses this study of his films to act as autobiography, a companion to his earlier Magic Lantern; as a 'key' to the.great films--there's about a dozen or so, more than any other filmmaker--this is invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bergman et la transposition de sa vie intime, réelle ou imaginaire, à l'écran
Reviewed in France on December 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
Contrairement à l'autobiographique "Lanterne Magique", ce film réunit les thèmes majeurs de l'oeuvre.
Ainsi LE RITE théâtral est il présenté avec LE VISAGE, film magnifique construit comme une pièce de théâtre qui a pour protagonistes un illusionniste magnétiseur et un homme de science d'une imperturbable logique qui espère découvrir au scalpel le mystère d'un cerveau hors du commun.
Les rapports du réalisateur avec Dieu, le déchirement du doute, sont mieux analysés ici que par la critique : La question du silence de Dieu est réglée avec WINTER LIGHT ("Les communiants" — mauvais titre) et libère ainsi Bergman de ce thème obsessionnel. Tout ceci est vide dit. Mais revoir les films à la lumière de ce discours est une expérience enrichissante.
