Just four years before his death, legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman sat down with Swedish documentarian Marie Nyreröd in his home on Fårö Island to discuss his films, his fears, his regrets, and his ongoing artistic passion. This resulted in the most breathtakingly candid series of interviews that the famously reclusive director ever took part in, later edited into the feature-length film Bergman Island. In-depth, revealing, and packed with choice anecdotes about Bergman’s films, as well as his personal life, Nyreröd’s documentary is an unforgettable final glimpse of a man who transformed cinema. —The Criterion Collection

An endearing portrayal of the mellowed Gloomy Swede.

A sweet film showing a different side of Bergman. After everything, when one is alone reflecting on life, what is it that one thinks about? A revealing and cohesive exploration where the man reminisces about the aspects of life his films tried to investigate. His view points have changed in many regards, but isn't that part of growing older? After all his heavy, dark films, Bergman as a human becomes understandable.
