At the editing table, when I run the strip of film through, frame by frame, I still feel that dizzy sense of magic of my childhood.\" Bergman, who has conveyed this heady sense of wonder and vision to moviegoers for decades, traces his lifelong love affair with film in his breathtakingly visual autobiography, \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Lantern\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More grand mosaic than linear account, Bergman's vignettes trace his life from a rural Swedish childhood through his work in theater to Hollywood's golden age, and a tumultuous romantic history that includes five wives and more than a few mistresses. Throughout, Bergman recounts his life in a series of deeply personal flashbacks that document some of the most important moments in twentieth-century filmmaking as well as the private obsessions of the man behind them.
