When a film is not a document, it is a dream...At the editing
table, when I run the strip of film through, frame by frame, I
still feel that dizzy sense of magic of my childhood." Bergman, who
has conveyed this heady sense of wonder and vision to moviegoers
for decades, traces his lifelong love affair with film in his
breathtakingly visual autobiography, "The Magic Lantern". More
grand mosaic than linear account, Bergman's vignettes trace his
life from a rural Swedish childhood through his work in theater to
Hollywood's golden age, and a tumultuous romantic history that
includes five wives and more than a few mistresses. Throughout,
Bergman recounts his life in a series of deeply personal flashbacks
that document some of the most important moments in
twentieth-century filmmaking as well as the private obsessions of
the man behind them. Ambitious in scope yet sensitively wrought,
"The Magic Lantern" is a window to the mind of one of our era's
great geniuses.

whom she no longer finds anything in common: Anna is at the end of

film-maker, Ingmar Bergman's own family life, Personal Confessions
is the final part in Bergman's loose trilogy of books that started

The second novel in world renowned film-maker, Ingmar Bergman's
trilogy of novels plotting the fractious marriage of his parents
Over the course of one summer, eight-year-old Pu Bergman makes the
terrible realisation that his father and mother are no longer in
love. Surrounded by the quiet idyll of the Swedish countryside,
with its ponds, its rivers and woods, the daily chaos of the
family's ramshackle summer home threatens to bring to a close the
bright, brilliant haze of Pu's childhood world. Based upon
film-maker Ingmar Bergman's own family life, Sunday's Children is
the second part in Bergman's loose trilogy of books that started
with The Best Intentions, and closes with Private Confessions.
'There is no shame in deriving pleasure from this little world.'
Siblings Fanny and Alexander are growing up amidst the gilded
romance and glamour of 1900s Sweden. But their world is turned
upside down when their widowed mother remarries the iron-willed
local bishop. As creative freedom and rigid orthodoxy clash, a war
ensues between imagination and austerity in this magical study of
childhood, family and love. Legendary film-maker Ingmar Bergman's
1982 masterpiece Fanny & Alexander was adapted for the stage by
Stephen Beresford. It premiered at The Old Vic, London, in 2018, in
a production starring Penelope Wilton and directed by Old Vic
Associate Director Max Webster. Stephen Beresford is the BAFTA
award-winning screenwriter of Pride. His other plays include The
Last of the Haussmans, which premiered at the National Theatre.
