INGMAR BERGMAN?S CINEMA

Details

• Plot: In honor of Ingmar Bergman's one hundredth birthday, the Criterion Collection offers this comprehensive collection of films by the great director. One of the most revelatory voices to emerge from the postwar explosion of international art-house cinema, Bergman was a master storyteller who startled the world with his stark intensity and pursuit of profound questions. The struggles of faith and morality, the nature of dreams, the agonies and joys of human relationships—he explored these subjects in works ranging from comedies with brooding hearts to groundbreaking formal experiments and excruciatingly intimate dissections of family life. Ingmar Bergman's Cinema—arranged as a film festival, with opening and closing nights bookending double features and center-pieces—spans six decades and thirty-nine films (including eighteen never before released by Criterion), tracing themes and images across Bergman's career and blazing trails through this peerless body of work for longtime fans and newcomers alike.; ; 30-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTOR'S SET FEATURES; ; • Digital restorations of the films, including a new 4K restoration of The Seventh Seal and new 2K restorations of Crisis, Shame, Fanny and Alexander, and many others, with uncompressed monaural and stereo soundtracks; • Eleven introductions by director Ingmar Bergman; • Six audio commentaries; • Over five hours of interviews with Bergman; • Interviews with Bergman's collaborators, including actors Bibi Andersson, Harriet Andersson, Ingrid Bergman, Erland Josephson, Gunnel Lindblom, Liv Ullmann, and Max von Sydow and cinematographer Sven Nykvist; • Daniel (1967) and Karin's Face (1984), two rarely seen documentary shorts by Bergman; • Documentaries about the making of Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander, The Magic Flute, The Serpent's Egg, The Touch, and Winter Light; • Extensive programs about Bergman's life and work, including Bergman Island, ...
