| | 2. |  | The Seventh Seal
from Homevision
Customer Review:
For me, the Seventh Seal, along with Casablanca, is one of the best movies ever made. In terms of asking the question, "Is there meaning in life and Is there a God?," no other film dares to so boldly ask such questions and give such existential answers. There appears to be a Mother Mary and a Christ... more info

from Homevision
Customer Review:
After viewing this one time, you might ask yourself ...what the hell was all that about??? It clearly leaves one feeling uneasy and misunderstood.
The first noticeable thing is how Bergmann sets the mood with colors, first the innocence and purity in the white dresses, then fiery and demonic... more info

| | 4. |  | Through a Glass Darkly
from Homevision
Customer Review:
Although Bergman considers "Through a Glass Darkly" to be a failure (and, to a certain extent, I agree), it was an important step (he says) in liberating himself from the gloomy Lutheran theology of his childhood. Ostensibly, the story is about the relapse of Karin (Harriet Andersson) into mental... more info

| | 5. |  | Fanny and Alexander
from MGM (Video & DVD)
Customer Review:
Fanny and Alexander deals with Swedish culture as seen through the eyes of a very young brother and sister -- and it is much like our own American culture of the same period where, always, in the background, deep Puritan guilt and fear loomed. Laughter, the joy of living well, could never escape the... more info

| | 7. |  | Smiles of a Summer Night
from Homevision
Customer Review:
***** 1955. Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. A prize (Best Poetic Humor!) at Cannes and the Bergman phenomenon started at that moment. This film is a romantic comedy opposing women and men or rather life and death. In SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT, men are clearly related to death, just observe... more info

Autumn Sonata is a great psychological study of a dysfunctional relationship between a self-absorbed mother and her two daughters, as well as the devastating damage inflicted by her negligent parenting.
