Ingmar Bergman is considered one of the most profound filmmakers of all time. His films delve into the complexities of faith, mortality, love, and identity, often through minimalist settings and emotionally raw performances.
Drawing heavily from his own life and spiritual struggles, Bergman’s style is intimate, theatrical, and deeply symbolic. His 1957 film The Seventh Seal, with its iconic image of a knight playing chess with Death, remains one of the most enduring images in film history.
Persona (1966), a radical psychological drama, broke cinematic conventions and inspired countless directors. Later works like Fanny and Alexander (1982) combined autobiographical memory with magical realism. Bergman’s collaborations with actors like Liv Ullmann and cinematographer Sven Nykvist yielded some of the most visually poetic films ever made.
