Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian; Ingmar Bergman’s work was often erotic, even, or especially, when sex was not the ostensible subject matter. There is a stark sensuality and fascination in some of the bleakest situations; aneros to go with the thanatos. But the recently discovered screenplay "Sixty-Four Minutes With Rebecka" – which Bergman evidently intended to retitle "The White Wall" and make as an English-language movie, forming his part of a tripartite collaboration with Federico Fellini and Akira Kurosawa – really is notably sexy, even if the sexiness is coloured by his distinctive anxiety, self-inspection, self-reproach, and intimate marital anguish. For Bergman, like Socrates, the unexamined sexual life was not worth living. Sixty-Four Minutes With Rebecka, written by the 51-year-old Bergman, promises to be intriguing.

SIXTY-FOUR MINUTES WITH REBECKA A long unknown film script written by Ingmar Bergman. This script was written in 1969 for an “omnibus film” (a very fashionable genre in the 1960s), of which Fellini and Kurosawa should have directed the other two episodes. The Italian and the Japanese having in turn withdrawn from the project. Bergman's script was never filmed and the filmmaker archived it among his working documents. "A beautiful, pregnant young woman, Rebecka, is a teacher of hearing-impaired children. She has complicated relationships with her partner, mother, students, and an abusive lover. Bored with her existence, she yearns for sexual and social liberation". The script is a take on the political and sexual turmoil of the late 1960s. It is a fascinating script with great potential Cover designed by Ingmar Bergman jr. Foreword by Jan Holmberg, CEO Ingmar Bergman Foundation. Bilingual English-French. Translated from Swedish by Deborah Bragan-Turner (eng) and Jean-Baptiste Bardin (fr)
