Our take
Made from 9.5mm home movies shot by Ingmar Bergman, Images from the Playground is a unique and fascinating document. With an introduction by Martin Scorsese, who contributed to its restoration, the film shows a lighthearted side to the elusive genius, at odds with the darkness of his films.
