Product description

In honor of Ingmar Bergman’s 100th birthday, the Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive collection of his films ever released on home video. One of the most revelatory voices to emerge from the postwar explosion of international art-house cinema, Bergman was a master storyteller who startled the world with his stark intensity and naked pursuit of the most profound metaphysical and spiritual questions. The struggles of faith and morality, the nature of dreams, and the agonies and ecstasies of human relationships—Bergman's films range from comedies whose lightness and complexity belie their brooding hearts to groundbreaking formal experiments and excruciatingly intimate explorations of family life.

    Excellent box set from one of the great filmmakers. Excellent gift for the movie lover in your life or your son/daughter just finishing film studies in University. Important to remember, this is Region Free!

    I have been a fan of Bergman films since I gingerly picked up Summer With Monika on DVD around 15 years ago. I bought a number of others in the Tartan collection at the same time but since upgrading to a Blu Ray player decided to upgrade my films.

    This set is superb and well worth the price. So far I have watched the first 3 films and have been very impressed with the picture quality and can’t wait to get to the showcase films. I am following the recommended “set list” which I think is a great addition as with many artists who have a large body of work it can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming for someone coming fresh to their work to know where to start.

    The book that comes with is excellent quality and enhances the viewing experience ten fold.

    My only gripe it that when I got mine out of the packaging there were some scuff marks on the book and the outer sleeve of the disc holder which have more or less disappeared with a bit of a clean.

    Delivered from US to UK in three days, and in perfect condition. Immediately tried out one of the discs in my Region 2 bluray player and it works perfectly. Picture quality looks most impressive. Thanks to Criterion for producing the package. For people who see film as an art form rather than a story.

    Really satisfied with the service. It got shipped faster than it said it would be, I'm not sure if this is related to the seller or the Amazon, but either way, it made it much more convenient for me that it shipped before the estimated shipping date.

    As for the product itself, it's just what I wanted. It's brand new, I got it sealed, the only complaint that I could have is that one corner has slight wrinkles on one side, but I assume it happened during shipping somewhere so I don't want to lower the rating based on that.

    The set itself is amazing, most films have some extra stuff, commentary from Bergman himself, some of the actors or other people from the film crew. Restorations are also really good, I watched it on a large 4K OLED TV and it looks great. One more thing to note is that disks are region lock free, so they can be played on any blu-ray player, I personally used PS4 Pro

    The book accompanying the discs looks amazing, it has reviews of almost every film, including interactions between Bergman and some people related to the production of the movie.

    Also, both the book and the set itself follow suggested order in which movies should be watched, even though it's not strict, it's purely a recommendation. I enjoyed reading about a movie before I watched it, and the order in which these movies are suggested make sense to me, so I followed it.

    Overall really happy with my purchase and I'm really glad I bought this set

    This box set at double the price would be a steal, the number of films in this set, the restoration, the full book that comes with it and the wonderful curated viewing order from Criterion creates a must have for anyone thinking of exploring Bergman at a fantastic price.

    Had a bonus payment and decided to treat myself. I didn't expect the box to be so big, though to be fair the dimensions are in the description! Anyway, it fits on my shelf and it's absolutely beautiful. There's at least a dozen truly great films in here, and I'll be checking out the less familiar ones for a while yet. If you're on the fence about spending this much on a boxset, I'd say go for it. One of the best blu-ray sets around.

    Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2025
    At the $150 I got this for, this comes out at around $3.80 per movie. That's an incredible deal. These are some of the best movies of all time, presented in a beautiful box set, and I can't recommend this enough.

    Como qualquer produto importado comprado na Amazon Brasil, este também chegou danificado.
    É sempre assim, quando não fazem promoção e cancelam de forma unilateral o produto importado eles enviam algo danificado.
    Parece que o que não serve para ser comercializado lá fora é bem-vindo na Amazon do Brasil.

    Reviewed in Spain on 23 June 2022
    Lo que intente explicar en esta reseña no va a hacer justicia con esta maravilla que han hecho la gente de Criterion.. Empecemos por el precio. Vale 300€. No es barato. Pero es que es espectacular y creo que vale cada euro que me he gastado (de hecho, hasta lo veo barato). Son 30 blu-rays empaquetados maravillosamente como en un libro, sin caerse de su sitio y con multitud de extras.. Obviamente no he visto todos los discos (necesitaría... años), pero sí he visto "El séptimo sello", "Persona", "El manantial de la doncella", "Gritos y susurros" y "Sonata de otoño".. y obviamente la calidad de la imagen es maravillosa y el sonido correcto.. En cada disco, lo que más me ha llamado la atención, quizá lo más exclusivo son los extras.. muchos.. y es que uno puede tener acceso a varias películas del cineasta sueco, pero los extras de Criterion ya es más complicado, y son también una joyita... El metraje de los extras es generalmente más largo que la película en sí.. entre documentales, entrevistas, entrevistas radiofónicas, comentarios a la película.. Veremos a Ang Lee o a Woody Allen hablar de pelis de Bergman .. En definitiva... una maravilla que cuando pase unos años, será pieza de coleccionista y no costará 300€ (pues ya estará descatalogado) sino 3000€..
    Además del "libro" con los blu-rays incrustados... Viene otro libro (en tapa blanda) bestial... una enciclopedia sobre las películas de Bergman.. Obviamente no me lo he leído, pero sí lo he ojeado (y hojeado) mientras veía la peli correspondiente y casi nada más por el libro (que será imposible conseguirlo aislado del pack o en español) vale el dinero del pack entero...
    Y todo ello en un "estuche" de cartón duro, con un fotograma de "Persona" por una cara (preciosísimo) y por la otra una foto de Bergman..

    El GRAN HANDICAP.... QUE NO ESTÁ EN ESPAÑOL, CLARO.. Todas las películas están en sueco, y alguna en inglés y todas con los subtítulos sólo en inglés... Yo no sé sueco, claro, pero me defiendo en inglés y las he visto en sueco , subtituladas en inglés y no he tenido ningún problema... Pero claro, si uno no maneja ni el inglés ni el sueco.. pues a pesar de eso recomiendo comprarlo y apuntarse ya a la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas.. pues las pelis de Bergman deberían estar al alcance de todo el mundo.. o alguien sabe alguna película que diseccione mejor la vida en pareja/matrimonial que "Secretos de un matrimonio" por poner un ejemplo?

    Espero que haya sido útil mi valoración

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una festa per l'anima
    Reviewed in Italy on 6 December 2021
    A primo impatto il costo sembra eccessivo ma facendosi due conti, vista la quantità di blu ray che contiene (e il bellissimo libro di approfondimenti), non è nulla di così scandaloso (e se voleste raccogliere tutto Bergman in blu ray probabilmente spendereste molto, molto di più). La scelta di rilasciarli region free è poi davvero ottima perché, a patto di conoscere in maniera decente l'inglese, non troverete da nessuna parte un'edizione così esaustiva su un unico regista: la cura svolta nel restauro di ogni film, le tonnellate di approfondimenti (davvero, non si esagera: gli extra sono una marea, sembrano non finire mai), il "percorso" scelto dagli esperti della Criterion per rendere omaggio a quello che forse è il più grande regista della storia del cinema: è tutto da premiare.
