The late master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman streamlined Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to expose the contemporary heart of the 19th century masterpiece. Taut with suspense, this critically-acclaimed adaptation focuses on Nora, a young wife and mother who exploits her childlike charm to survive in a man’s world. But Nora has a secret that threatens her cozy existence, and she begins a perilous journey to find her way out. Recorded before a live audience at the Doubletree Guest Suites, Santa Monica, CA, in 1997. Adapted by Ingmar Bergman Translated by Frederick J.
