For more than 50 years, Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) produced ground-breaking works of cinema that established him as one of the world's most acclaimed, enduring and influential filmmakers. By the 1980s, Bergman was recognised as the doyen of directors but continued to produce trailblazing films throughout the latter period of his career.
Presented on six discs, this final collection in the BFI's four-volume Blu-ray series, contains eight films spanning 1972-1984, including Cries and Whispers (1972) – Bergman's examination of suffering and the female psyche, Autumn Sonata (1978), his much-heralded collaboration with Ingrid Bergman, and his epic, award-winning and deeply personal Fanny and Alexander (1982) presented in both its theatrical and 1984 television versions.
