Tribute for a genius movie director



Today I remembered of Ingmar Bergman's films, so I decided to post a short biography and talk about his works:

Bergman was born in Sweden, in 1918. He is one of the best movie directors in the world. His works include psychology of childhood, philosophy of language and, sometimes, simply art. They are marked by the simplicity in filming, but with deep dialogues (always serious, but amazing). He tried to complete his career in United States, but it didn't work. He needed to be in Sweden to think about great stories. Here are some movies made during all his career:


THE SEVENTH SEAL (1956 - This film is specially about the death of God)

WILD STRAWBERRIES
(1957 - Memories of an old scientist who is almost dying)

THE SILENCE (1963)

PERSONA (1966)

SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE (1973)

FANNY AND ALEXANDER (1982 - When he ended his career)


Therfore, I have also decided to post a link to an interview made after he moved to an island called FARÖ. He decided to live alone in a calm and silent place during elderly. Wonderful as well...



Please, wacth it and don't be afraid to comment. All I want with this is simply discussions. So, what do you think about this kind of life?

Well Gustavo, I'd say that I'd enjoy that kind of life, no stress, no traffic, no one to bother me but...
I think I'd feel a bit lonely.
