Ingmar Bergman has become one the most important directors in all of Western cinema, but there was a time when his films were gritty and, dare I say, not perfect (gasp!). It's these early pictures that laid the groundwork for his bleak, metaphysical masterpieces to come: Torment (Hets, Alf Sjoberg, 1944, 101 mins.), Bergman's first screenplay, is about a sadistic Latin teacher nicknamed "Caligula;" Crisis (1946, 93 mins.), Ingmar's directorial debut, follows an estranged mother as she takes her rural daught er to Stockholm--the big city with a seedy underbelly; Port of Call (1948, 97 mins.), a direct, almost-documentary telling of the love that grows between a seaman and a young woman with a troubled past; Thirst (1949, 84 mins.), an elliptical adaptation of Birgit Tengroth's novel about several storylines united by alienation; and To Joy (1949, 99 mins.), an examination of the life of a talented orchestral violinist who learns to cope with the death of his wife (played by Maj-Britt Nilsson). In Swedish with Ingmar Bergman/Alf Sjoberg---Sweden---1944-1949---474 mins.

This meta double feature includes two obscure works from the undeniable masters of Swedish cinema. First, Victor Sjostrom's silent ghost story, The Phantom Carriage (Korkarlen, 1921), based on the legend of the coachman of Death being replaced by the last man to die each year. Sjostrom's film is as famous for its realistic depictions of life in the slums as it is for its fantasy sequences that make evocative use of double exposures. Next, Ingmar Bergman's televised production of the Per Olov Enquist play, The Image Makers (Bildmakarna, 2000). Set in the 1920s at Svensk Filmindustri, Lennart Hjulstrom plays Bergman's mentor, Sjostrom, as the drama unfolds on the set of The Phantom Carriage. In Swedish with English Victor Sjostrom/Ingmar Bergman---Sweden---1921/2000---206 mins.

According to Ingmar Bergman, this somber epilogue to his intimate and deeply moving made-for-TV drama, Scenes From a Marriage, is his final film statement. It's also his first work in over two decades, and as such it conjures a mix of joy and sadness that echoes its profound themes. After 30 years of divorce, Marianne (Liv Ullmann) pays an impulsive visit to her ex-husband Johan (Erland Josephson). Together they explore their shared past, their inner demons, their relationship with their children, and their difficulties in growing old. "A dignified farewell [...] for one of cinema's greatest directors" (Hollywood Reporter). In Swedish with English Ingmar Bergman---Sweden---2003---107 mins.
