The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman

This concept album was released in 2009 by American pop and rock duo Sparks. It imagines the abduction of famed Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, in the mid-1950s by Hollywood studio executives who want him to make movies the American way. The story develops into a Kafkaesque nightmare as Bergman, besieged by autograph hunters, finally decides that Hollywood is not for him.
Here is a short sizzle reel of the premiere performance:
