Ingmar Bergman: Four Masterworks (4 Discs)

Review

 

This box set brings you four of Ingmar Bergman's unforgettable masterpieces!

Smiles Of A Summer Night (1955): Set in turn-of-the-century Sweden, the film follows four women and four men as they attempt to juggle the laws of attraction amid their daily bourgeois lives. When a weekend in the country brings them all face-to-face, the women ally to force the men's hands in their matters of the heart, exposing their pretentions and insecurities.

The Seventh Seal (1957): After a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight challenges Death to a fateful game of chess. More than forty years after its initial release, Bergman's stunning allegory of man's apocalyptic search for meaning remains a textbook on the art of filmmaking and an essential building block in any collection.

Wild Strawberries (1957): Traveling to receive an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg (masterfully played by veteren Swedish director Victor Sjostrom), is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and accept the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, Wild Strawberries captures a startling voyage of self-discovery and renewed belief in mankind.

The Virgin Spring (1960): This is a harrowing tale of faith revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. Starring frequent Bergman collaborator and screen icon Max von Sydow, the film is both beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between paganism and Christianity, and of one father's need to avenge the death of a child.
