Scenes from a Marriage

(299 minutes, 6 parts)

Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Written by Ingmar Bergman

1973, Sweden, Sk

It should be intuitive knowledge, that one’s ability to love is often captive to one’s ability to love themselves, to be happy with where they are, where they are going and where they might never end up despite every effort. And as much as love is a feeling, it is also an action, expressed through behaviour – at least this is how its existence is often ascertained; which is often where incongruity exists between one person’s feelings of genuine affection for another and the beloved-in-question’s own perception of these feelings as expressed by the lover’s actions. To complicate matters further, how does one’s own personal disappointments and failures and existential disquiet sour and poison these unspoken exchanges of love? In other words, what do you get when you have »

Ingmar Bergman/Liv Ullmann Documentary: Liv & Ingmar

20 April 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Ingmar Bergman, Liv Ullmann Liv Ullmann and Ingmar Bergman are the subjects of former architect Dheeraj Akolkar's documentary Liv & Ingmar, produced by the Norwegian company NordicStories and to be distributed by Sweden's Svensk Filmindustri. After meeting in 1965, Ullmann and Bergman made ten (narrative) films together; they were also off-screen companions for five years. In Liv & Ingmar, Ullmann, 73, is shown spending a few days in Bergman's house on the Swedish island of Fårø. While there, she reminisces about their personal and professional relationships. That sounds fascinating enough. But what makes Liv & Ingmar even more intriguing is that Ullmann's recollections are interspersed with scenes from her Bergman films, which is supposed to show how their personal lives directly affected their professional collaboration. In that regard, Liv & Ingmar makes Ullmann and Bergman seem like Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, who went from The Purple of Rose of Cairo and Hannah and Her Sisters »

Blu-ray, DVD Release: Summer with Monika

14 March 2012 1:46 PM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »

Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: May 22, 2012

Price: DVD $29.95, Blu-ray $39.95

Studio: Criterion

Harriet Andersson and Lars Ekborg are young and in love in Bergman's 1953 Summer with Monika.

Inspired by the earthy eroticism of his muse Harriet Andersson (Smiles of a Summer Night), in the first of her many film roles for him, Ingmar Bergman (Face to Face) had a major international breakthrough with his 1953 drama-romance Summer with Monika.

Set in Stockholm, the sensual tale of young love tells of a girl (Andersson) and boy (Lars Ekborg, The Magician) from working-class families who run away from home to spend a secluded, romantic summer at the beach, far from parents and responsibilities. Inevitably, it’s not long before the pair is forced to return to reality.

The version of the classic film originally released in the U.S. was re-edited by its distributor into notably more salacious kind of film, but the original Summer with Monika »

Erland Josephson: Ingmar Bergman Actor Dies

29 February 2012 3:22 AM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Erland Josephson, The Sacrifice Erland Josephson, who was featured in more than a dozen Ingmar Bergman movies in addition to several plays directed by Bergman, died of complications from Parkinson's Disease on Feb. 25 in Stockholm. Josephson was 88. Even though most of Bergman's best-known players were women — Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Harriet Andersson, Ulla Jacobson — the director frequently worked with the same male actors as well. Max von Sydow, a Best Supporting Actor nominee this year for Stephen Daldry's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, is the only one to have become internationally renowned. But among Bergman's recurring collaborators were also the likes of Gunnar Björnstrand and the Stockholm-born stage actor Erland Josephson. Perhaps Josephson failed to become an international star because he played supporting roles in most of his Bergman films, while his few leads for the filmmaker were generally subordinate to the leading ladies' roles, e.g. »

Erland Josephson obituary

26 February 2012 4:06 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Swedish actor known for his roles in Ingmar Bergman's films and television dramas

Although the actors who comprised Ingmar Bergman's repertory company all went on to make their own prestigious careers, they will for ever be associated with the great Swedish film and stage director. Erland Josephson, who has died aged 88 after suffering from Parkinson's disease, was artistically linked with Bergman even more than Max Von Sydow, Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Thulin. Josephson appeared in more than a dozen of Bergman's films, and played a Bergman surrogate in Ullmann's Faithless (2000).

In middle and old age, he was chosen by directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Theo Angelopoulos for the qualities he revealed in the Bergman films – a certain self-centred introspection and a deep melancholy, etched on his lined and grizzled features. Because he became a leading film actor in his 50s, he seems never to have been young. »
