## Description

Product Description Despite a tumultuous personal life of Sven Nykvist that included the tragic suicide of his oldest son and a sweeping love affair with Mia Farrow, Nykvist's passion for his craft did not fade as he directed films and collaborated on projects. desertcart.com "Feeling wrapped in light gives me a sense of spiritual atmosphere," confesses legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist, whose rich career suddenly ended in 1998 when he was diagnosed with aphasia. This retrospective documentary directed by son Carl-Gustav Nykvist examines the way he molded the cold winter light and simple studio setups into the enthralling images in films by Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Andrei Tarkovksy, and of course Ingmar Bergman. "Our feeling for light was the same," observes Bergman in a rare interview, as generous film excerpts illustrate. While the quality of some of the clips is less than stellar (and many are unidentified), the power and texture of the images sear through. Carl-Gustav is less revealing of his father's personal life, suggesting that his career came at the expense of his family, and that this reverent and loving tribute is a son's attempt to reconnect. The DVD features a text introduction by the director and a comprehensive Sven Nykvist filmography. --Sean Axmaker

*by C***T on October 30, 2015*

unfortunately I found this documentary boring and I could not find it in me to care, I fell asleep while watching. In all fairness it probably got better while I was asleep, but I will never know as I don't intend to watch it again.
