Vintage reference photograph from the set of the 1968 film, showing director Ingmar Bergman with a camera crew, setting up a shot with actress Liv Ullmann. A film that Bergman found so intensely personal that he experimented with a technique wherein he intercut his discussions with the cast and crew throughout, breaking the fourth wall and creating an emotional distance. The director removed all the inserts except for two prior to the film's release, at the beginning and the end. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
