For over 50 years, Ingmar Bergman produced ground breaking works of cinema that established him as one of the world most acclaimed, enduring and influential filmmakers. 'Ingmar Bergman: Volume 1' marks the first of a four-volume celebration of the auteur's work - and reflects on the opening stages of Berman's career. Presented over 5 discs, the set features 2K restorations of eight early written or directed by Bergman, including initial partnerships with regular collaborators such as cinematographer Gunnar Fischer and actor Birger Malmsten. These early works exhibit his burgeoning talents, introducing themes and tones that he would continue to develop over the next five decades.
