Unknown Bergman

There is no end to the exploration of Ingmar Bergman's imposing work. This cycle, marking the recent revival of Cinematograph AB, the production company founded by the filmmaker, offers a selection of films that have rarely (if ever) been shown in Quebec theaters. This selection, which includes shorts, documentaries, a made-for-TV movie inspired by the making of Victor Sjöström's The Phantom Carriage, a feature-length version and a TV version of Face to Face, as well as a restoration of The Touch, allows us to consider new aspects of Bergman's work, just fifteen years after his death. Two films about the filmmaker's body of work and two of his masterpieces complete the cycle.
