I really hope to find The League....that looks great. I have seen many of those Bergman films...I found Cries and Whispers to be one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen...and I will set my DVR for TCM Sunday morning....(I have the largest Tivo that was available, and I am embarrassed by HOW MANY FILMS I have stored on it. I will never be able to watch them all).
Yes, âdowner filmmaking brillianceâ captures Bergmanâs genius perfectly. Iâve viewed and experienced many of the tougher films, exiting the theater (often the Thalia!) in some kind of sad but profound daze. I'd like to raise up two that left me a bit more upbeat, âWild Strawberriesâ, yes - a grim portrait of an old man during most of it but with a lovely closing sequence of reconciliation and peaceful closure. The second is âSmiles of a Summer Night,â a brilliant comedy that was the basis for Sondheim's "A Little Night Music," my favorite musical.
