Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie
5 Episode s . The year is 1961 and Ingmar Bergman is making a movie. While planted on the scene as apprentice to Bergman, Vilgot Sjöman (director, I Am Curious–Yellow, 1967), suggests to Swedish Television that they take the opportunity to record with the acclaimed director.

Footage from the film’s Swedish premiere delivers immediate audience reactions and the critics’ reviews the following day.
