Ingmar Bergman's Cinema - Set [Blu-ray]

I have been a fan of Bergman films since I gingerly picked up Summer With Monika on DVD around 15 years ago. I bought a number of others in the Tartan collection at the same time but since upgrading to a Blu Ray player decided to upgrade my films.This set is superb and well worth the price. So far I have watched the first 3 films and have been very impressed with the picture quality and can’t wait to get to the showcase films. I am following the recommended “set list” which I think is a great addition as with many artists who have a large body of work it can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming for someone coming fresh to their work to know where to start.The book that comes with is excellent quality and enhances the viewing experience ten fold.My only gripe it that when I got mine out of the packaging there were some scuff marks on the book and the outer sleeve of the disc holder which have more or less disappeared with a bit of a clean.

A superb set. Great quality films. The "book" the Blue Rays are presented in is very classy with lots of interesting information. A must have for an Ingmar Bergman fan.

Really satisfied with the service. It got shipped faster than it said it would be, I'm not sure if this is related to the seller or the Amazon, but either way, it made it much more convenient for me that it shipped before the estimated shipping date.As for the product itself, it's just what I wanted. It's brand new, I got it sealed, the only complaint that I could have is that one corner has slight wrinkles on one side, but I assume it happened during shipping somewhere so I don't want to lower the rating based on that.The set itself is amazing, most films have some extra stuff, commentary from Bergman himself, some of the actors or other people from the film crew. Restorations are also really good, I watched it on a large 4K OLED TV and it looks great. One more thing to note is that disks are region lock free, so they can be played on any blu-ray player, I personally used PS4 ProThe book accompanying the discs looks amazing, it has reviews of almost every film, including interactions between Bergman and some people related to the production of the movie.Also, both the book and the set itself follow suggested order in which movies should be watched, even though it's not strict, it's purely a recommendation. I enjoyed reading about a movie before I watched it, and the order in which these movies are suggested make sense to me, so I followed it.Overall really happy with my purchase and I'm really glad I bought this set

Excellent box set from one of the great filmmakers. Excellent gift for the movie lover in your life or your son/daughter just finishing film studies in University. Important to remember, this is Region Free!

Delivered from US to UK in three days, and in perfect condition. Immediately tried out one of the discs in my Region 2 bluray player and it works perfectly. Picture quality looks most impressive. Thanks to Criterion for producing the package. For people who see film as an art form rather than a story.

This box set at double the price would be a steal, the number of films in this set, the restoration, the full book that comes with it and the wonderful curated viewing order from Criterion creates a must have for anyone thinking of exploring Bergman at a fantastic price.

Had a bonus payment and decided to treat myself. I didn't expect the box to be so big, though to be fair the dimensions are in the description! Anyway, it fits on my shelf and it's absolutely beautiful. There's at least a dozen truly great films in here, and I'll be checking out the less familiar ones for a while yet. If you're on the fence about spending this much on a boxset, I'd say go for it. One of the best blu-ray sets around.

Arrived faster than expected and in perfect condition. Thanks!
