Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words - 2015 - 7/10
AKA - Jag är Ingrid
Less a documentary about the movie career, but more a behind the doors personal look.
For a Bergman fan, there is wonderful material here. Old photos, home movies taken by her father, as well as Ingrid herself who was quite the home movie buff. A trove of correspondence with lifelong Swedish friends. Recollections from her four children.
What emerges, however, is the story of a loner and perhaps a lonely soul.
Bergman moves from Sweden to Hollywood to Italy to England. In two moves, she leaves her children behind.
Always, though, she takes her bulging collection of photos, letters and home movies.
One wonders if, for the woman orphaned early, those physical memories were more important than anything else.
