MoMA kicks off its two-week Ingrid Bergman retrospective on August 29, the hundredth anniversary of the birth of one of cinema’s most genuine movie stars, by showing her most famous work, Casablanca, along with her theatrical grand finale, Ingmar Bergman’s Autumn Sonata, introduced by two of her children, Pia Lindström and Isabella Rossellini. As it turned out, she died on her birthday at the age of sixty-seven, so it’s also the thirty-third anniversary of her death in 1982 from breast cancer. The fourteen-film survey, several of which were specially chosen by Lindström, Isabella Rossellini, and Ingrid’s other daughter, Ingrid Rossellini, includes such other classic favorites as Gaslight, Notorious, Intermezzo, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Bells of St. Mary’s as well as such lesser-known fare as Fear, Paris Does Strange Things, Stromboli, and the short comedy We, the Women: Ingrid Bergman. Each of the three daughters will be back at MoMA individually to introduce select screenings August 30-31 and September 1 and 8-9.
