The Ingmar Bergman Archives presents no less than the totality of Bergman's life work. As such, it is not a book to be read just once, but rather it is a companion for a lifetime's worth of viewing. It covers not only his films but also his lifelong stage career and his numerous productions for television. With more than 1,000 illustrations, it charts his life from the entries on his birth in his parents' diaries to the final days on his Baltic island, Faro. Virtually anything significant that Bergman ever said about a film will be found in these pages. Entire interviews are reprinted, including those with Bergman's actors.
