Sparks / The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman

Lil’ Beethoven

‘The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman’ is Sparks’ new album. Just over 60 minutes of wonderfully original music that tell a fantasy “what if” story. Though his films' themes have traditionally centred on matters of death, faith, God's existence, and the struggle to find love and meaning in our lives, Bergman is confronted in the musical by the lure of a mythological Hollywood seemingly at odds with all he stands for---a Hollywood that tempts him and ultimately tries to control him. What starts as an exploration by Bergman of the possible mutual benefits of his working in Hollywood turns into a Kafkaesque nightmare, a nightmare ended with the aid of a most unlikely saviour.
