In an article about Ingmar Bergman and his self-biographical book ”Laterna magica” or "The Magic Lantern" it stands about “…the father’s capricious temper [lynniga temperament]. Sometimes his temper was good the whole day, sometimes the demons caught him up and he became taciturn [fåordig], turned away and irritable./…/
…the enclosed, dogmatic father.”
About Bergman:
“…on the one side overprotected, on the other defenceless, on the border to abandoned.”
“Ingmar Bergman spent his childhood summers in a big, beautiful house, built 1909, on a hill along the Dala river, between Gagnef and Borlänge. /…/
Karin Bergman [Ingmar Bergman’s mum] sold the summer-house Våroms [“Ours” in English] 1956. The son Ingmar seemed to have wanted to buy it, but the mother said no. It’s possible this is a loss he never came over.”
A person in the neighbourhood said that Ingmar as child was looked for by a nursemaid and seemed to have been very hard held at home.
Våroms lies on a hill called Gims klack in Duvnäs.
Read ”The Demon-lover” by John Lahr in The New Yorker.
