Round two matches, apparently all Tarkovsky was knocked out in round 1:

This round:

The Seventh Seal (1957) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)
The Virgin Spring (1960) vs Through a Glass Darkly (1961)
Winter Light (1963) vs Persona (1966)

Voting goes up to July 10.

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

Every Tarkovsky film being knocked out in round one mysteriously validates his superiority in my eyes.

Horse Feathers. Where were you?

The Seventh Seal (1957) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)
Winter Light (1963) vs Persona (1966)

The only one of these that was even remotely close for me was the first one; two of his three best films. Whatever happens, please don't make me choose between Fanny and Alexander and Persona.

No Tarkovsky. Seriously? Almost every film he made was better than Bergman's, in my opinion.

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

I too like Tarkovsky's films more, but the majority has spoken. I understand that Bergman is a bit more conventional and thus more likely to appeal to cinephiles in general.

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

Tally:

Fanny and Alexander (1982) 4 vs Cries and Whispers (1972) 1
The Seventh Seal (1957) 1 vs Wild Strawberries (1957) 4
The Virgin Spring (1960) 2 vs Through a Glass Darkly (1961) 1
Winter Light (1963) vs Persona (1966) 3

Next round:

Persona (1966) vs The Virgin Spring (1960)
Fanny and Alexander (1982) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

The Virgin Spring had 2 votes and would have gotten mine if I thought it needed it.

Persona (1966) vs The Virgin Spring (1961)

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

It's The Virgin Spring not Through a Glass Darkly.

Re: Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2
 

Well, the tally is:

Persona (1966) 4 vs The Virgin Spring 0
Fanny and Alexander (1982) 3 vs Wild Strawberries (1957) 2

Not counting ThomasP vote for Persona since he though the match was vs Through a Glass Darkly.

Anyway, the final is:

Persona (1966) vs Fanny and Alexander (1982)

Persona (1966) vs Fanny and Alexander (1982)

Oh sh*t, I was hoping I wouldn't have to make this decision. I'll vote for whichever one needs the help, waiting for now.
