Summary

Ingmar Bergman#xE2;#x80;#x99;s career spanned forty years as he produced more than fifty films, many of which are considered classics. 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 the relationship between his life and art. More clearly than ever before, Images allows us to listen to, as Woody Allen put it, Bergman#xE2;#x80;#x99;s #xE2;#x80;#x9C;voice of genius.#xE2;#x80;#x9D;
