"Irving Singer's book is well grounded, clearly thought out, and lucidly written.Though the author is a professor of philosophy, it is neither academic nor esoteric, but plain-spoken and informative. The work of a man who has long lived with and often written about film, this concise volume on Bergman says more than many another longwinded and less stimulating one."--John Simon

"In his new book, Irving Singer offers a complex and original reading of Bergman's creative universe, where the organic development from the early films and onwards is especially highlighted. Even those who are deeply familiar with Bergman's universe will find rich food for new thoughts."--Atrid Soderberg-Widding, Department of Film Studies, Stockholm University
