'A bona fide fiasco,' was Bergman's own assessment of his directorial debut.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsBarbro KollbergBirger MalmstenGösta CederlundYoung love confronts stupidity and boredom of society.Bergman's second feature is a playful but rather ill-advised blend of rainswept miserablism and laborious whimsy.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsHolger LöwenadlerAnna LindahlBirger MalmstenA sailor returns to his hometown after 7 years and remembers the dark and the light moments of his past.At this stage the emotive and thematic weight of Bergman's ambitions prove a bit too much for his decidedly functional plotting and characterisation.

- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsHarriet AnderssonLars EkborgDagmar EbbesenA pair of teenagers meet one summer day, start a reckless affair and abandon their families to be with one another.His first film with Andersson shows a developing ability to probe the psychology of a rich, vital woman without losing his objectivity.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsÅke GrönbergHarriet AnderssonHasse EkmanThe complicated relationships between a circus ringmaster, his estranged wife and his lover.Visually it is a treat, with Bergman's richly baroque compositions and persistent use of deep focus brilliantly exploiting the circus and theatre settings. And the performances are first-rate.
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsEva DahlbeckGunnar BjörnstrandYvonne LombardAfter a 15-year marriage, the spouses are going to divorce, but suddenly find out that their feelings have not vanished yet.A minor but mostly agreeable picture, which finds Bergman gearing up for his altogether more resonant exercise in wise comedy, Smiles of a Summer Night.

In spite of their best efforts to escape their homeland, the war impinges on every aspect of their lives.Despite its evident sincerity, the film seems less like an indictment of intellectual and artistic irresponsibility than a quiet mea culpa.

- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsLiv UllmannErland JosephsonBibi AnderssonScenes from a Marriage chronicles the many years of love and turmoil that bind Marianne (Liv Ullmann) and Johan (Erland Josephson) through matrimony, infidelity, divorce, and subsequent partners.One of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made.

- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsHarriet AnderssonPer MyrbergChristina SchollinA middle-aged teacher is suffering from paranoid delusions.
