INGMAR BERGMAN: A YEAR IN A LIFE + 4-PART TV BLU RAY - BLU-RAY
Directed by Jane Magnusson
Ā
Jane Magnusson's documentary centres on 1957, a turbulent but miraculously productive year when Bergman, besides unveilingĀ The Seventh SealĀ andĀ Wild StrawberriesĀ and working extensively in theatre and TV, led a messily complicated domestic life. This is the springboard for a survey that spirals out to embrace everything from childhood to old age, touching on his many creative achievements, his strengths and failings as a man, and the way his art derived from his life.
This release includes both the theatrical version of the film and the expanded, four-hour edition made for Swedish TV, in which further illuminating anecdotes are offered by many who knew him perhaps none, however, quite as revealing as Bergman's own testimony.
Special features:
- Vox LipomaĀ (2018, 11 mins): satirical animation about Ingmar Bergman's power, sexuality and relationships
- Ingmar Bergman Guardian InterviewĀ (1982, 60 mins, audio only): the director in conversation with film critic Geoff Andrew, recorded at the NFT
- Bergman: A Year in a Life Q&AĀ (2019, 17 mins): post-screening talk with director Jane Magnusson
- UK theatrical trailer (2019)
- Fully illustrated booklet with new writing on the film by Jane Magnusson, BFI programmer-at-large Geoff Andrew and full film credits
