About the text
Bergman left the country due to the ongoing tax investigation against him. The article’s tone is bitter though (as usual) ironic:
I have been a staunch social democrat. I have embraced the grey ideology of the compromise wholeheartedly. I thought my country was the best in the world, and I suppose I still do – possibly because I’ve had so little contact with other countries.
Ingmar Bergman, "Nu lämnar jag Sverige", Expressen, 22 April, 1976.
