Bris Soap Commercials

Three-dimensional takes place in a movie theatre where the audience is amazed by a 3-D film, which is also about Bris soap.

Bergman never regretted making commercials. As he writes in Images: ’Anyhow, I have always found it difficult to feel resentment when industry comes rushing toward culture, check in hand. My whole cinematic career has been sponsored by private capital.’

Bergman directed nine commercials for Bris soap, under a period of two years.

The commercials were made under unusually professional conditions. Bergman was given access to the same technical equipment that he would have used for a feature film and was allowed to engage Gunnar Fischer as his cinematographer.

Bibi Andersson made her film debut in the commercial Princess and the Swineherd.

Most of Bergman’s commercials for Bris soap are "self-reflectively modernist".
