\"\"[fusion_dropcap boxed=”no” boxed_radius=”” class=”” id=”” color=”#003366″]T[\/fusion_dropcap]his year marks Ingmar Bergman’s centenary. To celebrate, The Criterion Collection has just announced a landmark box set, featuring 39 of the director’s films. Bergman is my personal favorite filmmaker of all time. His movies have consistently influenced the way I think and look at the world around me and my place in it. His stories about men and women struggling to make sense of this world are deep and personal and beautifully told. This is a worthy way to celebrate indeed!<\/p>\n

Here are some of the details from The Criterion Collection:<\/p>\n

Arranged as a film festival with opening and closing nights bookending double features and centerpieces, this selection spans six decades and thirty-nine films\u2014including such celebrated classics as The Seventh Seal, Persona, <\/em>and Fanny and Alexander<\/em> alongside previously unavailable works like Dreams,<\/em> The Rite,<\/em>and Brink of Life. <\/em>Accompanied by a 248-page book with essays on each program, as well as by more than thirty hours of supplemental features, Ingmar Bergman\u2019s Cinema<\/em> traces themes and images across Bergman\u2019s career, blazing trails through the master\u2019s unequaled body of work for longtime fans and newcomers alike.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
