This is the first time that a film maker has access to Ingmar Bergman in his home at the small island Fårö in the Baltic Sea. It contains unique behind-the-scenes material from Bergman's private archive, including material about his journey becoming a world-renowned film, television, and stage director, as well as how his childhood informs his greatest works.
The most informative film to-date on the film-making practice of one of the most influential directors in the history of cinema. Breathtaking shots of the sparse, unpeopled landscape, this film reveals why Ingmar Bergman's films are emblematized by the solitude of the director's own life.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
After a lifetime of flogging the demons of cosmic despair, Ingmar Bergman, at 88, comes off as lean and vigorous in this fascinating memoir-interview.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Intimate, compelling film.
New York Post by V.A. Musetto
An amazing portrait of the great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his later years.
Variety by Robert Koehler
Ingmar Bergman lays his soul on the line in Marie Nyreroed's gentle, intimate and thorough documentay.
Village Voice
As little more than an extended interview, it remains hobbled by determinedly uninspired cinematography and a mundane televisual setup.
