Criterion adds a forth disc to their Bergman Trilogy box set
For those of you who have not heard the good news yet, Criterion has added a forth disc to their upcoming Bergman Trilogy box set. The disc will feature a 145 minute documentary on the making of Winter Light. This disc is like the icing on the cake. I cannot wait for this box set.
synopsis from Criterion's website:
"The year is 1961 and Ingmar Bergman is making a movie. While planted on the scene as apprentice to Bergman, Vilgot Sjöman (director, I Am Curious–Yellow, 1967), suggests to Swedish Television that they take the opportunity to record with the acclaimed director. In August, Sjöman and the television crew begin to capture what would become a comprehensive five-part documentary on the making of Winter Light, offering views of script development, set construction and lighting, rehearsals and editing, as well as intimate conversations with Bergman and members of his cast and crew. Footage from the film’s Swedish premiere delivers immediate audience reactions and the critics’ reviews the following day. Originally recorded on 16mm film, the television series Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie is presented here in its entirety for the first time outside of Sweden."

Speaking of Bergman. What on earth is taking so long for "Fanny and Alexander" to be available on DVD? It's only perhaps his most accessible and popular film. I know many would argue in favor of "Seventh Seal" or "Wild Strawberries," but many found "Fanny and Alexander" a masterpiece in its own right. It was nominated for something like 7 Oscars. Anyone heard if there is any potential release for this film?

...you want the c. 3-hour 'movie' version, or the complete, c. 5-hour 'director's cut' (TV) version...?... ...he asked, not entirely innocently...

If you are all-region capable (with the CyberHome 402 available for about $50: if not, why not?), Artificial Eye has released the complete 5 hour cut in the UK (Region 2 PAL). I ordered it just last week for about 30 bucks from Amazon.co.uk.
