The Fifth Act

"Bergman's book, his texts, have the power to create the same effects, the same fire, and to thrill the reader just as intensely as his films and theater productions have thrilled his viewers. He is not only a magnificent director--he is also a great author." --Lars Hagstroem, Hallands Hyheter (Sweden) "Bergman's words turn instantly into images. I see the scenes before me, feel the radiance of the characters' exertions." --Sverke Andreasson, The Gothenburg Post (Sweden) "Bergman is indeed a wordcrafter, who in his somewhat eccentric style produces people and lives of flesh and blood." --Ingvar Engen, Falu Kuriren (Sweden) "Bergman s book, his texts, have the power to create the same effects, the same fire, and to thrill the reader just as intensely as his films and theater productions have thrilled his viewers.
