Germany/ France 2018 – 99 min – OR Premiere

Director: Felix Moeller, Margarethe von Trotta

Cast: Liv Ullmann, Olivier Assayas, Ruben Östlund

German director Magareth von Trotta pays tribute to Swedish director Ingmar Bergman in honor of the centennial of his birth. Margarethe von Trotta presents a detailed account of his life and his impact on filmmaking through excerpts of his work and interviews with family and contemporaries (Olivier Assyas, Mia Hansen-Love, Ruben Ostlund). 

 Her film begins with a segment of THE SEVENTH SEAL with actor Max Von Sydow and explanation of each shot in detail.  Many of his other films are also displayed  and put into perspective by actresses like Liv Ulmann who speak fondly of the man.  His thoughts and inability to love his own children are also revealed. 

Extremely insightful and a  treasure for cineastes!  Von Trotta’s own film THE GERMAN SISTERS was selected by Bergman as one of his favorite films.
