Came across some material not included in Marie Nyreröd's extended interviews with Bergman.
I like this sequence where he talks about his utilitarian attitude to clothes, as well as how some
of these clothes have shown up in his films (the sequence also has a rather touching ending).

After struggling a bit with where exactly to post this; SVT (the Swedish public broadcaster) just announced that they are making an adaptation of Trolösa (Faithless), a Bergman script previously adapted by Liv Ullman into the 2000 movie of the same name.
Heading up the adaptation is Tomas Alfredson, whom you may know, of "mister police I gave you all the clues" fame. Who apparently has been toying with this idea for about 20 years after discussing it with Ingmar himself in 2001 and having the big man describe it as "a fucking drunken idea" before coming around to it and calling it "terribly exciting". And Sara Johnsen, whom you may not, her most recent work was the well received series 22. juli about the Utøya attack.

This is (sort of) Alfredson's second brush with adapting Bergman. His first being the Bergmans Reliquarium segment of Bergman Revisited, six short films commissioned for the centenary. Described as "a visual association play", it's a pop music video with some serious star power having music by Veronica Maggio and featuring "Bergman actors" like Lena Olin, Gunnel Lindblom, and Pernilla August. Should be available to stream internationally here (and personally I think it rules).
side note: this was a collaboration with artist Jesper Waldersten, whom Alfredson also worked with on his ill-fated Bröderna Lejonhjärta (Brothers Lionheart) adaptation.
