Re: Ingmar Bergman

^I have seen the TV version of Fanny and Alexander, I think it's even better than the theatrical cut. Which seems to be what people say about Scenes From a Marriage as well.

Sweet :) If you see the television version, let me know what you think. I've only seen the theatrical cut, which I loved.

Re: Ingmar Bergman

I haven't seen Summer Interlude (or any of Bergman's pre-1957 work :(), but Scenes From a Marriage is definitely one of his greatest achievements.

After the part with the spider-god, it seemed like it would end on a low note. But then the the final scene with David talking to Minus felt more optimistic, at least to me.
