The most complete monograph in the world literature on the life and work of the eminent film director. Szczepanski shows how the filmmaking and writing of the mythical director are intertwined in an indivisible whole with his life. While the autobiographical nature of Bergman's work has never been a secret, by reconstructing the Bergman myth and exploring its themes and symbols, Szczepanski makes clear how much of the director's artistic biography is not only a key to the deepest recesses of his soul - passions and fears imagination and desires - but also allows one to come face to face with the impenetrable mystery of existence, to cross the threshold of the unconscious realm of the Jungian shadow, and perhaps to prevail over myth and its destructive power.
