Easily the world's most influential living filmmaker and one of the greatest in cinema history, Bergman reveals himself here in a manner previously available only through his movies.

As little more than an extended interview, it remains hobbled by determinedly uninspired cinematography and a mundane televisual setup.

An extraordinarily revealing documentary portrait of the Swedish director at his home on the desolate Baltic Island of Faro.

Marie Nyreröd's affectionate and revealing portrait of the legendary director functions as something of a last will and testament.

This version of Nyreröd's efforts tends to focus on the more familiar touchstones of Bergman's career, though it does go significantly in-depth on the guilt he feels over his many failures as a husband and a father.
