The 1976 premiere of Face to Face came at the height of director-screenwriter Ingmar Bergman's career, yet today Face to Face is a largely overlooked and dismissed work. This book tells the story of its rise and fall and presents a new portrait of Bergman as a political artist exploring a new medium with huge public impact: television.
