If you're a Bergman completist, you have to see this. In the early 1950s, filmmaker Ingmar Bergman created nine soap commercials, including some starring future muse Bibi Andersson. Ms. Andersson is interviewed within the film, as are technicians who worked with Bergman, and scholars who have studied Bergman's work. These commercials have reportedly never been shown publicly before outside Sweden. All nine are included within this film.
