Ernst Ingmar Bergman (14 July 1918 – 30 July 2007) was a Swedish writer, writer, and producer who worked in film, television, theatre, and radio.
Bergman's films include Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), The Seventh Seal (1957), Wild Strawberries (1956), Persona (1969), Scenes from a Marriage (1977), and Fanny and Alexander (1982); the last two are also available in extended television versions. Bergman produced over sixty films and documentaries for theatrical release and television screenings, the bulk of which he wrote.
Over 170 plays were also directed by him.
He formed a fruitful collaboration with his cinematographers Gunnar Fischer and Sven Nykvist.
Harriet and Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, Erland Josephson, Ingrid Thulin, and Max von Sydow were among his cast members.
The bulk of his films were shot in Sweden, and several films from Through a Glass Darkly (1961) to the present were shot on the island of Frö. Bergman was described by Philip French as "one of the best writers of the twentieth century"... he discovered literature and the performing arts as a way of both remembering and questioning the human condition. "I'm sure you wouldn't be influenced by Bergman if you were alive in the 50s and 60s, a young adult on your way to becoming an adult, and you want to make films?" director Martin Scorsese wrote: "I can't see how you would not be influenced by his films."
Personal life
Bergman was married five times:
The first four marriages ended in divorce, while the last ended when his wife Ingrid died of stomach cancer in 1995, at the age of 65. Bergman had romantic encounters with actors Harriet Andersson (1952–1959), Bibi Andersson (1955-1969), and Liv Ullmann (1970-1970). Linn Ullmann, a writer, was the father of Linn Ullmann. Ullmann was a novelist. Bergman had nine children, one of whom predeceased him. Bergman eventually married all the mothers of his children, with the exception of Liv Ullmann. Ingrid von Rosen, his son's last wife, was born twelve years before their marriage. Throughout his life, he had hundreds of mistresses and would explain the affairs to his diverse wives by saying, "I have so many lives."
Though Bergman once described himself as someone who had lost his faith in an afterlife, Bergman said that a talk with Erland Josephson made him believe that he would see Ingrid again. "I'm not even afraid of dying," he said. On the contrary, to be precise. It'll be exciting, I think." Max von Sydow said in an interview in 2012 that he had many conversations with Bergman about faith, which seemed to indicate that Bergman believed in an afterlife.
Bergman suffered with physical ailments such as insomnia and severe stomach problems dating back to childhood. His tense stomach became "a disaster as humiliating," as he joked that the private lavatories he obtained at the theaters in which he worked represented his "most lasting contribution to the history of theatre."
