Magic Lantern - Ingmar Bergman

'The Magic Lantern: An Autobiography' by Ingmar Bergman (University of Chicago Press 314-page paperback)

Ingmar Bergman traces his life in vignettes, from a rural Swedish childhood through his work in theater to Hollywood’s golden age, and a tumultuous romantic history that includes five wives and more than a few mistresses. Throughout, he recounts his life in a series of deeply personal flashbacks that document some of the most important moments in twentieth-century filmmaking as well as the private obsessions of the man behind them.
