As a swede myself I have tried to avoid this subject, but I still wanna point out two movies The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries! Those 2 movies is top 50. I certanly hope you don't think all swedes are gloomy like a bergman pic Of course, not! Bergman was a great artist with a rather gloomy vision, it would seem. But Smiles of a Summer Night definitely shows me a different side of him, so nothing is definitive when it comes to the creative spirit. I don't know any other Swedish directors (I don't think I do anyway), but I assume they come with all kinds of personal visions. That's how art works.Besides beeing a movie director Bergman had a huge hit on theatres with The Merry Widow by Lehar, because of tax problems in 1970s he fled and in Hollywood he wanted to make a film version of Merry Widow, Barbra Streisand said Yes, He even went to one of her parties, He wanted Paul Newman (an actor Bergman was a big fan off) as Danilo, they offered him Sylvester Stallone instead..... |
