| | 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

| | 3. |  | Cries and Whispers
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. |  | The Best Intentions
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
I saw this (the three hour long version), some fifteen years ago. THE BEST INTENTIONS takes an intimate look at the Ingmar Bergman's parents' early years as a young married couple, against the wishes of his mother's (Pernilla August) parents. Her husband is a rather humorless and morose young man... more info

| | 5. |  | House of Angels
from Sony Pictures
Customer Review:
The characters in Änglagård are the kind of people one might meet in rural Sweden. Their values, their lifestyle, their town secrets, everything is a good reflection of the kind of hegemony one finds in Sweden in general, only condensed and distilled due to the rural setting. The arrival... more info

| | 6. |  | 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

| | 7. |  | The Emigrants
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
I only saw the Swedish version (the whole series) and I am aware that some of the movie was cut. However, I believe I still have something to say.
This movie is based on a novel by the Swedish author and historian Vilhelm Moberg. The novel is based on his research and is therefore very... more info

| | 8. |  | 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

| | 10. |  | Sunday's Children
from First Run Features
Customer Review:
Sunday's Children is one of the most insightful films about parent/child relations I have ever seen. The camera follows the activities of Pu, a young Sweedish boy vacationing in the country with his family. Pu's father is a minister who is struggling to make sense of his life and reconcile with his... more info
