Images My Life in Film

One of the most influential film directors of the 20th century shares his wisdom and insights about his life and his cinematic work. In IMAGES, Ingmar Bergman focuses on his own unique body of work in film. Bergman?s career spanned 40 years and produced more than 50 films, many of which are considered classics: The Seventh Seal, Persona, Smiles of a Summer Night, Wild Strawberries, and Fanny and Alexander, to name but a few. When he began this book, Bergman had not seen most of his movies since he made them. Resorting to scripts and working notebooks and especially to memory, he comments, brilliantly and always cogently, on his failures as well as his successes; on the themes that bind his work together; on his concerns, anxieties, and moments of happiness; on the relationship between his life and art. More clearly than ever before, IMAGES allows us to listen to his ?voice of genius? (Woody Allen, New York Times Book Review).
