Tarkovsky vs Bergman, round 2

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

This round:

Fanny and Alexander (1982) vs Cries and Whispers (1972)
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.

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

The Seventh Seal (1957) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)

Fanny and Alexander (1982) vs Cries and Whispers (1972)
The Seventh Seal (1957) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)
The Virgin Spring (1960) vs Through a Glass Darkly (1961)
Winter Light (1963) vs Persona (1966) - This was a hard choice.

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

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.

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.

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)

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

Persona (1966) vs The Virgin Spring (1961)
Fanny and Alexander (1982) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)

Fanny and Alexander (1982) vs Wild Strawberries (1957)

Sorry for my mistake.

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

Persona vs The Virgin Spring
