This fascinating—and amusing—video documentary takes a look behind the scenes at a master director at work late in his career. As the camera follows Bergman around the set of In the Presence of a Clown we witness his spirited direction of the film’s principal actors and his astute concern for visual composition. The fim reveals a Bergman still very involved in every aspect of the filmmaking process and a cast and crew having great fun while at work on this intense and strange project.
