The memoirs of the outstanding Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman, like his painfully intimate paintings, are thoroughly saturated with reflection and resemble, in the author’s own words, «X-ray images of the soul.»
And in the innermost experiences of a boy passionately in love with his mother, and in the observations of a mature man who subtly feels and sharply perceives reality, it is easy to discover the origins of many of the master’s film masterpieces. The collection includes Laterna Magica (1987) and the book Pictures (1990), a transcript of nearly 60 hours of interviews with the director.
