Director Ingmar Bergman and actress Liv Ullmann had
a long and complicated relationship, in work and in
love. Having known each other for more than 42 years,
they collaborated on 12 films and had one of the
strongest working relationships in film history. But
their lives intertwined even further off screen into a
scandalous and tumultuous affair that ruined marriages,
grabbed headlines around the world and produced a
child (Linn Ullmann). Yet through it all both Liv and
Ingmar stayed the course with their love and friendship.
Dheeraj Akolkar’s captivating documentary centres on
Liv’s recollection of her life with Ingmar, weaving an
affectionate tale of an unavoidable and unconventional
romance that was plagued by misfortune. It’s a
heart-warming and intimate account from an iconic
artist, whose passion and love for her friend and soul
mate was unwavering. Liv & Ingmar is truly a must-see
for anyone interested in Ullmann or Bergman’s careers
and for those who enjoy beautiful yet complex love
stories. Robin Smith, Hot Docs
