MOVIES - Sept. 27, 1989

Director Ingmar Bergman, 71, has written a screenplay about his parents, depicting his father, Erik Bergman, as an insecure and depression-prone pastor; and his mother, Karin, as a woman of iron self-discipline who cringed at any show of love. In “Good Intentions,” Bergman casts back his memory and his imagination to the first 10 years of his parents’ turbulent relationship and marriage. The play is a six-hour chronicle in four acts, to be shown as a two-part movie and a four-part television series. Production begins late next year.
