Reviews for Bergman Island
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.
An amazing portrait of the great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his later years.
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.
