God and the Devil: The Life and Work of Ingmar Bergman

Peter Cowie’s book chronicles the life and the 60-year film and stage career of Bergman as he wrestles of themes of love, sex and betrayal with the figure of Death hovering overhead.

Blending biographical information with critical comment, Cowie presents a man whose life and work were intimately fused.
