Many years later, Liv Ulman’s soliloquy still haunts me; this one scene solidifies her place at the top of all actors of all time. The equal of Richard Burton’s Shakespeare.
This might be the most visually beautiful of Bergman's movies. Especially of the black and white ones.
I thought towards the end of how oddly 'monster' horror it felt. Because of how much I've seen other people say the same things online I was surprised, and a bit proud of myself (lol) of how I had the same thought as others. I literally thought to myself what would a Bergman-Dracula movie look like.
yes, he's close to it here. He never did get into monsters, preferring to say that the unconscious/the psychological was monstrous enough. Only by Fanny and Alexander did he show us ghosts (though one might argue there are ghosts in his other movies that are not obvious).
Just watched it this afternoon. LOVED IT!!!!!
glad you liked it!
I just discovered your channel after watching “The Machine That Kills Bad People” last night and looking for a review online today. You and I must have some similar taste in movies-Bergman, Rossellini, Lubitsch, “Touching the Void” etc. Thank you for your reviews.
welcome. that's remarkable, given that some of these videos I figure few will watch. If you are here because of that movie, I hope you enjoy everything else.
@@LearningaboutMovies Thanks. I keep a subscription to the Criterion Channel. You can find a lot of interesting films there. For example, there is an interesting section of Paul Muni films recently added. I’ve also been going through Italian films recently such as Il Sorpasso and Le Notti Bianche. Some of my favorite directors are Michael Powell, Billy Wilder, Carol Reed, William Wyler, Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges, Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Pierre Melville, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Nicholas Ray and many others. I’ve barely scratched the surface of great directors that I like with the above-named.
@@iakona23 Great list
One of Bergman's best works.
The music is also good. In the fishing scene where the boy stands behind him I thought the boy is going to push him from behind. The music did the trick I guess.
thank you.
What a great film. There are scenes here reminiscent of David Lynch. The puppet show in particular. Good recommendation
indeed, thank you.
In my top 5 favorite Bergman's .. LOVE his remote island movies
great vid! i just watched this last night and it was a very surreal and disturbing experience. i also noticed that some of the techniques bergman used in this film is very different than his usual style. nevertheless, it was a great watch and i hope to watch it again sometime.
thank you.
The modern counterpart is "Shutter Island" rather than "The Shining". Martin Scorsese admires Ingmar Bergman and no doubt was influenced in the making of "Shutter Island" by "Hour of the Wolf". What's more, Max von Sydow appears in BOTH movies.
Looking forward to watching and critiquing the movie
I imagine Max Von Sydow as being born with his adult face and voice lol. Just a badass from birth.
Looks so amazing
I also recommend the film that followed this one, Shame (Criterion Collection).
Is Bergman your favorit director because you do so many his movies review, do All about Eve, Sunset bulevard, The Apartment, Double indemnity, La Notte, Divorce Italian style, Marriage Italian Style, The Godfather, The Godfather part 2, Mulholland drive, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Silence of Bergman, La dolce vita
No. I went through all of Bergman in the first half of this year (2021). That led to the number of videos you are seeing. Plus subscribers voted in January 2021 to have me go through all of Bergman (instead of other directors).
I have, sitting on the shelf next to me, about half of the movies you mentioned. That shelf contains the movies I want to get to, eventually. It might take me 6-24 months, though. So much to cover and discuss.
@@LearningaboutMovies You must review one of Antonioni movies let it be his best La Notte, i love all movies in this trilogy and i love Red Desert and Blow up, do La Notte please, you are only you tube movies chanel with lot of subs ho review old masterpices, thank god that i found your chanel
Thanks. There is a video on Blowup here. I just finished a video on the Passenger that will be out in a couple of months.
@@LearningaboutMovies Yes i know, but La Notte is by far best Antonioni movie, Bergman knows much better movies that you
If you are going to study film, Bergman has to be studied in full.
What's up Professor? Another great video, by the way.
I don't understand his movies very well, and I am Swedish. I am American, however. Maybe you have to grow up in Sweden to get him.
I saw "The Lighthouse" and "The Witch" and really enjoyed them. Robert Eggers is a cool director.
Yeah, this does sound good. Isn't there a marvelous joke in John Boorman's "Excalibur" where Merlin warns Arthur that some of a king's worst enemies can be in his own head? I think so. Maybe I got it wrong. There is a lot talk about being a good king, and then fighting, and then nude scenes. That is what I remember. 🤔 Yes.
Yeah, man. Sounds like fun. I will check it out. Max von Sydow is really cool. I saw him in "Hannah and Her Sisters", and "The Exorcist".
Peace.
thank you.
I know you said you're not really much of a fan of anime when you put Ghost in the Shell in one of your top ten so I was wondering if you see much of Satoshi Kon's work Perfect Blue and Paprika is the most famous? Also any other of Mamoru Oshii work like underrated Angel's Egg, Patlabor 2, or Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade. Got to also recommend Belladonna of Sadness cause there is nothing like it.
I'm open to anime and yet know little. is this a definitive list? give me a top-5 and I will check them out for sure. great art can come from anywhere!
@@LearningaboutMovies Angel's Egg, Perfect Blue, Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away, Belladonna of Sadness
@@vodkatonyq They are definitely a great start especially for kids then start branching out with Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, and Katsuhiro Otomo. When most other content is aimed at younger audiences their work always feels mature and deals with dark or complex subject matter.
@@vodkatonyq I'm not saying it isn't a great film or one that can't be enjoyed by adult. I love the movie too but I was referring to introducing kids into anime. Not say Ghibli is only for kids. Ghiblis are the obvious go to because they are so filled with wonder and hints of darkness compared so much other anime that is focused on teens or adults audiences.
