The Voice of Ljudmila director Gunnar Bergdahl offers a cinematic amendment to his decidedly personal examination of the Chernobyl disaster by presenting the harrowing story of fireman's widow Ljudmila - whose lost not only her husband in the devastating meltdown, but the couple's unborn child as well. It is only through the companionship of her son Anatolj, born three years after the disaster, that the grieving Ljudmila is eventually able to find comfort and hope for the future. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this documentary, one of the world's most influential directors, Ingmar Bergman spends an hour and a half discussing cinema and what it means to him. First-time director Gunnar Bergdahl filmed Bergman without the distraction of narration, intrusive questions, music and film clips. Shooting the documentary in just one day during the Goteborg fest, Bergdahl steadied the camera in a relatively stationary position in order to keep the focus on Bergman. In accordance to the great filmmaker's wishes, Bergdahl allowed him not to talk about his own films in lieu of discussing the films of other directors. After the completion of filming, Bergdahl and his editor Robert Stengard, divided the footage into eight sections. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
