Synopsis
On the occasion of Ingmar Bergman's centenary comes this lovely, personal film from one of his greatest admirers, Margarethe von Trotta. This is a tribute from an artist with such a deep affinity for the subject that it opens to genuine and sometimes disquieting inquiry. In his writings and in his films, Bergman himself strove for an honest accounting and true self-revelation, but it is fascinating to hear and see the observations of loved ones and collaborators (often one and the same), particularly his son Daniel, whose relationship with his father was multi-layered. A rich and quietly absorbing portrait of an immense artist. An Oscilloscope Laboratories release.

Really enjoyed the part where one of Bergman's grandsons recollects the time Ingmar screened Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor at his home cinema and had the projectionist skip all the boring parts to get right to the action scenes.

CarolinaMay 15, 2019This is not so much a documentary about searching for Ingmar Bergman as it is about talking about Ingmar Bergman, and that is not a bad thing at all. Margarethe von Trotta explores the people and places that were important to Bergman, while incorporating archival footage of…

Feels like this film was made for the sole purpose of von Trotta getting to brag about Bergman listing one of her films among his favorites of all time.
TeprocJun 12, 2023Who really was Ingmar Bergman, and what does he mean to those who succeed him? In conversation with his actors, his family, and fellow filmmakers such as Olivier Assayas, Mia Hansen-Løve, and Ruben Östlund, Margarethe von Trotta creates a unique image of one of Sweden’s—and…

(The verb in the title is not superfluous. If this movie resembles anything, it’s Citizen Kane — structure-wise, if not remotely aesthetically.)
