This is an automatically translated description

«Laterna Magica» — is an autobiographical book, a confession of a genius director, which is made up of individual shots and scenes, and sometimes it is difficult to determine where the line between cinema and life is.

Ingmar Bergman was born into a priestly family, in which everyone lived as if they were playing separate roles in a drama. His complex relationships with his wives and mistresses sometimes resembled a play with a well-matched set. But in this book, the author takes off the mask, first of all, from himself, frankly shares the intimate, often even intimate details of his life, and impresses with the depth of his comprehension.
