Private Confessions(Film, 1996)

Private Confessions (Swedish: Enskilda samtal) is a 1996 Swedish drama film directed by Liv Ullmann and written by Ingmar Bergman. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. Private Confessions is also a short TV series in two parts, premiering on Sveriges Television in 1996. Private Confessions can be seen as the last part of a loosely united trilogy - with the SVT series The Best Intentions (1992) directed by Bille August and Daniel Bergman's directed film Söndagsbarn (1992) as the previous work - based on Ingmar Bergman's stories about his parents complicated relationship life in his marriage and also some of his own childhood memories (all in a somewhat rewritten form). It was the first of the two works that Liv Ullmann was asked to direct on Ingmar Bergman's manuscript; followed by the film Trolösa (2000). The series is divided into two parts of long film length, a total of 195 minutes, and is produced by Sveriges Television in cooperation with the other Nordic national public service broadcasters. ()
