This is a technically striking and visually pleasing restoration of four of Bergman’s key works. The extras on the disks are sparse, as might be expected. My personal choice was to skip the learned commentary for now, as I wanted to re-experience the three dramas (after about four decades) from my own recollections, though I did enjoy the technical comparisons illustrating the depth and detail of the restoration work. The quality of these disks highlights Bergman’s mastery of monochrome cinema, and heightened both my enjoyment and understanding of the works. The favorite of my youth, “The Seventh Seal,” is still amazing, though the symbolism is somewhat lessened by the passage of [my] years and, sadly, the broad and often comedic imitation of Bergman’s personification of death in others’ work. Several of the iconic scenes are even more powerful thanks to the quality of the print. My current favorite is “Virgin Spring,” the story of the tragic consequences proceeding from a young girl’s innocence and budding romantic awareness leading to rape, murder and brutal revenge. Bergman’s skill left me with the heartbreaking picture not only of selfish brutality and young life lost but of the death of beauty itself. “Wild Strawberries” is the work that rose the most in my estimation. It is the fantasy-laced story of an elderly and accomplished man forced to confront the emotional poverty of his youth more directly and deeply than Mr. Scrooge or Professor Unrath. A change of pace is the “Smiles of a Summer Night,” an amusing comedy of the absurd which, taken with the other works, shows how Bergman’s eye for beautiful young women surely imprinted the image of Swedish womanhood in the west of the last half-century. Excellent sound quality, nicely subtitled in English, and worth every penny, even (perhaps especially) if you already have one or two of the works in poorer prints.

I don’t know about the other people that bought this box set, but in my case there aren’t any bonus features on The Seventh Seal disc at all, despite what it says on the cover about commentary and other stuff…
