SeasonIngmar Bergman at QFT

Bergman’s Cannes prize-winning comedy assembles various couples in a country house in 1900.

An inspiration to Woody Allen, Stephen Sondheim et al, Bergman’s Cannes prize-winning comedy assembles various couples – current, past or would-be – in a country house in 1900, and cheerily observes their often less-than-honest interactions as they strive to fulfil their various desires.

Pithily scripted, elegantly shot and designed, performed to perfection by a superb cast, it brought Bergman international renown.

QFT presents a season of films as part of the global celebrations of the centenary of Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007), one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
