At the Screening I attended the audience were all on the sunny side of 60. In other words the chances are they'd seen their share of Bergman moves and/or owned several on DVD so that possibly, like myself, they welcomed this glimpse of the person rather than the usual 'and-then-she- made' that constitute so many documentaries of this ilk. It seems that only one out of the six that have so far written about the film misses this approach and surely the solution is simple enough; if you want to watch Bergman on screen run several dvds, there are sufficient available, meanwhile leave others to wallow in the home movies and diaries she kept. This is a film you can watch with a light dusting of tears in your eyes for the pleasure she has provided over the years.
