The Film Forum presents a massive five-week, 47 films commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the legendary director Ingmar Bergman's birth. To try to encapsulate his brilliant cinema career is impossible, but an overview would encompass his progression from tormented, sensitive protagonists; to strong female leads; to a series of God-haunted works; to island-location "chamber" works; to powerful, scathing examinations of intimate relationships, with romantic comedies inspired throughout. Bergman's worked with his stock company - including Max von Sydow, Gunnar, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson, and Ulla Jacobsson.
