Criterion Now – Episode 75 – Bergman Box Set

Podcast: Download (Duration: 1:28:45 — 101.8MB)

Becky D’Anna and Dave Eves join to unpack and unravel the massive Bergman Box Set. They have previously done six Bergman related episodes for Wrong Reel, and Becky is a lifelong devotee, having seen all but one Bergman film in the box set. We discuss the success of the boxset, the curated structure, the love and care in which it was produced, and how we plan to watch the films. We also give our experiences on how we obtained the set, which has proven to be a difficult task for many in our community.
