Ingmar Bergman is still the doyen of cinema. He is known for
masterpieces of controlled human emotion, exploring every facet of
the personality in relentless detail. He wrote: "I had the
possibility of corresponding with the world around me in a language
that is literally spoken from soul to soul."
These two screenplays, liberally illustrated with production
stills featuring actors, including his favourite actress, ex wife,
Liv Ullman, are classics of the screen. They will be sought after
by film students, and lovers of his films, New interest in Bergman
is being generated by the recent release of Faithless, Liv Ullman's
2001 masterpiece, with a screenplay by Bergman.
Born in Sweden in 1918, Ingmar Bergman is still contributing to
his canon of work.
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.

Marking Ingmar Bergman's debut as screenwriter and directed by Alf
Sjöberg, this expressionistic crime of passion revolves around a
young student, Jan-Erik (Alf Kjellin), his sadistic Latin teacher,
nicknamed 'Caligula' (Stig Järrel), and a newsagent
assistant-cum-prostitute, Bertha (Mai Zetterling). When Jan-Erik
assists the drunken Bertha, he becomes her lover. Bertha is,
however, terrified of another man, whom it becomes clear is
terrorising her. When Jan-Erik finds Bertha dead, he accuses
Caligula of being responsible. The themes of creaticity, mentors
and oppressive authority, which would become Bergman's trademarks,
are staked out in this semi-autobiographical work.
