About the film

Between 1957 and 1963 something unbelievable happens. A lanky Swede, about to turn forty, enters a film production. During six-year period he directs some of the greatest classics in the history of cinema, produces a number of theatre productions for the stage and radio and directs also TV films. In terms of contemporary filmmakers Ingmar Bergman remains largely unequaled. Jane Magnusson reveals previously untold stories about Ingmar Bergman’s life and discloses his creative methods, complicated character, passions, doubts and fears through his own words.
