| Bemerkungen: | Bergman: A Year in a Life (3-disc Blu-ray, BFI) Directed by Jane Magnusson Jane Magnusson's documentary centres on 1957, a turbulent but miraculously productive year when Bergman, besides unveiling The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries 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 Lipoma (2018, 11 mins): satirical animation about Ingmar Bergman's power, sexuality and relationships Ingmar Bergman Guardian Interview (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&A (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 |
