Ingmar Bergman, a Film Trilogy [3 Discs]

Member Rating:

Part of the Criterion Collection, A Film Trilogy by Ingmar Bergman is a three-disc set of 1960s chamber dramas from Ingmar Bergman. Shot by cinematographer Sven Nykvist, each film is a personal story of spiritual loss in modern life. Includes Through a Glass Darkly (1961), Winter Light (1962), and The Silence (1963). Each film is presented with a high definition full frame transfer in the original black-and-white. The Dolby Digital Mono soundtracks are offered in Swedish with improved English subtitle translation. Optional English dubbed soundtracks are also available. Special features include poster galleries, original theatrical trailers, essays, and video discussions with Bergman biographer Peter Cowie. Besides being a beautifully packaged collector's edition, this set marks the first time these films have been released on DVD in the U.S. Highly recommended for fans of the director's work. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Very emotional drama of a young lady haunted by her schizophrenia and attempts at living her life. It is sad and even more haunting today, knowing what the cure and treatment methods were back in the days before the modern psychotropic medications. Wonderful Bergman interpretation.

Why is there a disk missing from the 3 disk set? And the one I wanted to see the most, Winter Light.

Bergman's style grew and evolved, even as he was drawn repeatedly to the great questions. Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? How he approached theses themes varied wildly over 50 years. These three films, sometimes referred to as "The Silence of God" trilogy, represent a paradoxic step forward from his earlier work. On one hand they are more poetic, subtle, works. Even the highly surreal "The Silence" is more fragile and etherial than, say, the earlier "Virgin Spring". The film making is more stylized, from the never moving camera of "Winter's Light" with its very self conscious framings, and six minute long monologues, to the almost Fellini-esque "The Silence". On the other hand, the performances themselves are even more grounded in the kind of understated hyper-realism that was Bergman's ever growing trademark. While not my personal favorites of Bergman's work these are still must-see, if not easy, films, for any fan of grown up thoughtful film-making.
