Ingmar Bergman’s Private World
Some artists and entertainers live in surroundings antithetical to their public image. I remember, for example, walking in to the then New York home of Joan Rivers and being shocked that a woman who made her living through vulgarity lived in an apartment of such “good taste” (i.e. French furniture). No such disparity with the late great film director Ingmar Bergman. For 40 years, he lived, worked, and found inspiration on the windswept Swedish island of FÃ¥rö. And his austere furnishings matched his austere cinematic vision. Here, for the first time, is a view into his deeply personal realm.
