Swedes pay tribute to Ingmar Bergman

STOCKHOLM Ingmar Bergman, the retired master of Swedish filmmaking, had a less-than-highbrow start to his legendary career. He began by directing witty soap commercials as an escape from unemployment.

Bergman's offbeat route to international recognition is revealed in "Ingmar Bergman at 70," a birthday tribute published this month by the Swedish Film Institute. The publication provides a unique insight into the filmmaker's work.
