German director Magareth von Trotta pays tribute to Swedish director Ingmar Bergman in honour of the centennial of his birth. Margarethe von Trotta presents a detailed account of his life and his impact on filmmaking through excerpts of his work and interviews with family and contemporaries (Olivier Assyas, Mia Hansen-Love, Ruben Ostlund).
Her film begins with a segment of THE SEVENTH SEAL with actor Max Von Sydow and explanation of each shot in detail. Many of his other films are also displayed and put into perspective by actresses like Liv Ulmann who speak fondly of the man. His thoughts and inability to love his own children are also revealed. The film whets the appetite for watching Bergman films, a retrospective of the Master’s work that will be presented by TIFF Cinematheque this fall.
Extremely insightful and a treasure for cineastes! Von Trotta’s own film THE GERMAN SISTERS was selected by Bergman as one of his favourite films.
