A haunted genius. A cruel empathy. A cinema that bled with pain.

The Demon's Chariot is a searing biography of Ingmar Bergman - the master filmmaker who turned his childhood trauma into a mythic cinematic language. But this isn't just the story of an auteur. It's a forensic descent into the emotional scars that shaped him, the women he broke, and the God he murdered on screen.

This book does not flinch. It does not romanticize. It interrogates. In lyrical, devastating prose, Chronicles of Spirit dissects the psychology behind The Seventh Seal, Persona, Cries and Whispers, and Fanny and Alexander - revealing how Bergman's films were not artful choices but acts of survival.

⚫ What happens when an artist weaponizes his childhood? ⚫ Can a man who understands women onscreen still destroy them off it? ⚫ What does it mean to create beauty from abandonment?

With philosophical clarity and poetic fire, The Demon's Chariot is a cinematic exorcism - one that every filmmaker, writer, philosopher, and seeker of artistic truth must experience.
