Ingmar Bergman - Dreams (1955)
Thursday, 20 November, 2025

Send us a textMike and Nick return to their journey through Bergman's filmography. This time they explore the medial film in Bergman's "comedic" trilogy.

Is this a secret triumph for Bergman or is it another failed attempt at humour from one cinema's most dour minds?
