The project was begun in cooperation with the artist and completed with full access to his archives. "In a career that spanned 60 years, he wrote, produced, and directed 50 films that defined how we see ourselves and how we interact with the people we love, in films like 'Persona', 'Scenes From A Marriage', and 'Fanny And Alexander'. Bergman gave complete access to his archives at The Bergman Foundation and permission to reissue his writings and interviews, many of which have never been seen outside Sweden. Bengt Wanselius discovered previously unseen images from Bergman's films and selected unpublished images from the personal archives of many photographers. Paul Duncan gathered a team of Bergman experts who have written a narrative that combines Bergman's working life in film and theater" (Publisher's blurb). Ingmar Bergman died on July 30, 2007 at the age of 89, an irreplaceable loss to world culture. Given the abysmal state and irreversible decline of contemporary cinema, there are no words to describe the loss of its single greatest figure.
