With the 2015 documentary Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words, made on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the legendary actress’s birth, director Stig Björkman allows viewers unprecedented access to her world,.
Björkman culls from the most personal of archival materials—letters, diary entries, photographs, and Super 8 and 16mm footage Bergman herself shot—and follows her from youth to tumultuous married life and motherhood.
Intimate and artful, this lovingly assembled portrait, narrated by Alicia Vikander (the Swedish Academy Award winner who many consider to be the Bergman of today), provides luminous insight into the life and career of an undiminished legend.
