A towering figure whose legacy permeates across twentieth-century culture, Ingmar Bergman has created images so iconic that his name alone has become shorthand for a particular strain of seriously intended, refined, intellectually stimulating European art cinema, to the extent that we are at risk of forgetting just how groundbreaking, beautiful, and truthful his films are.
No other filmmaker has so relentlessly plumbed the depths of the human psyche, and explored our relationships to one another, and to good and evil, and done so with greater visual invention, and with such élan and consistency.
Between Heaven and Hell: The Films of Ingmar Bergman will be available on IFI@Home until 1st February 2026.
