Ingmar Bergman: An Artist's Journey
From early classics like The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries to his final masterpiece, Fanny and Alexander, Ingmar Bergman made films that changed the way the world looked at motion pictures.
Ingmar Bergman: An Artist's Journey brings together for the first time the best of what Bergman himself and many other great figures of world cinema, theater, and letters have written and said on the subject of Ingmar Bergman. In essays by Woody Allen, James Badlwin, Francois Triffaut, Caryn James, John Lahr, and Jean-Luc Godard, interviews with Bergman, Liv Ullmann, and Bibi Anderson, and tributes by Max von Sydow, Gunnel Lindblom, and Eva Dahlbeck, we see how Bergman made his films, how he related to actors and actresses, how he felt about his public, and how he viewed his own career and his move from cinema to theater to writing.
Bergman’s films, his plays, and his novels all come to new light in a collection that does justice to the breadth and length of this consummate artist’s journey.

Well, none of the illustrations match the essays they're placed with, but this volume contains a number of fine--if now somewhat dated--essays on Bergman. The Steene essay, in particular, is great.

A great look into the creative film-maker. A must read for those studying Bergman.

Nice overview of Bergman from different writers and perspectives. Lots of typos in the e-version of the book.
