I have never seen an Ingmar Bergman film. They have always seemed to me to be the epitome of impenetrable, confusing European art-house cinema. This book doesn’t change that impression, but it does make me want to watch some of these films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of his career, the legendary film director spent a year watching all his films and reminiscing about making them. This book is the result. He led a pretty interesting and eventful life, and there are lots of fun stories about him and all the others involved in making the films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many witty and profound aphorisms too. I came to this book after reading Dorthe Nors’s book Minna Needs Rehearsal Space<\/a>: in that novel, Minna carries a copy of Images<\/em> with her and quotes it frequently. I liked the sound of it, so I got a copy and I’m glad I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. Impenetrable, confusing European art-house cinema? Actually, that’s the sort of film I like, so if I can force myself to sit in front of a screen for a few hours I might finally get around to seeing The Seventh Seal<\/em> or one of Bergman’s other masterpieces.
