It is true that he didn't do many talkshows like this, but as a Norwegian born in the 1970s I remember him doing a lot of interviews and sharing very candidly his thoughts on filmmaking throughout the years. Very often these interviews came in the form of news stories, or TV documentaries about him working on a new film, working on a TV drama or a stage production. But since these were in Swedish and shown mainly on Swedish and Norwegian television, the rest of the world haven't really seen them and might get the impression he avoided journalists. But in fact he was quite accessible to Scandinavian reporters, he directed many productions for SVT (Swedish Television) and would always answer their questions. Countries like Sweden (and the rest of Scandinavia) is very egalitarian and open, even the biggest artists tend to be very accessible for both journalists and other people in general. I can't think of any major artist of similar stature over here who acts like a recluse and doesn't talk to the press, and the same goes for Bergman. It's different with those who go to Hollywood and stay in the States. They get treated so much differently, and end up acting accordingly (like Greta Garbo's infamous private life in New York). If you had access to the Swedish tv archive you would find a lot of interviews with him, except that they are in Swedish (which I guess only Swedes, Norwegians and to an extent Danes understand). 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@nerd_in_norway Thanks for commenting.

Bergman will live for centuries.

Oh my God--I went on a Bergman kick several years ago. He was very prolific. I think his prime period was late '50s to mid'60s.

U need to check out his entire body of work Persona, Autumn Sonata, everything he made

@@racheledwards2352 most def! I picked up the Criterion Bergman boxed set and I'm slowly working my way through it

@@iscream2232 enjoy!

@@racheledwards2352 I've only made it through the first 6 films in the collection. Smiles Of A Summer Night is my favorite one so far. So underrated. Super stoked to see Hour Of The Wolf down the road

James Hendin SAME AS ME! :) 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

You didn't finish your comment, it ends mid sentence.

It seems to be true for all the greats to be steeped deeply in the history of their craft.

@@Jarek_73 Thank you

I'm not sure if he looks like him...but I like the idea of that very much. I 2nd that.

Haha. It would be so cool to hear another accent from daniel day lewis. The man has mastered tuning his voice as he wants.

xwarx1000 it is refreshing he was just himself. Naturally profound. All of his interviews are like this.

Yes exactly, he is sincere. Lovely to see.

Perhaps on a rewatch, but to me they worked quite well as a juxtaposition and mirror for the relationships in life.

Glory holes

I agree!

How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos.

I agree. And perhaps that maybe the point, that Evald and wife and child will be ok. But such is life...who knows.

I don't think there really is resolution. Bergman's films are often like that. He'll create situations and characters that are ambiguous. You start out thinking that Isak is an unpleasant man, but through the lens of humanity, especially as seen through the perspective of Sara and her friends (the youngsters), he emerges as a different person, worthy of love and affection. It turns out that Marianne's rather uncharitable assessment of his was quite wrong. You also see how his marriage affected him in a negative way. What I love about Bergman's films are the deep humanity as he takes the magnifying glass to individual lives to witness the contradictions and difficulties. In the end, there's no one to blame for the frailty of being human. And I think that's why the film is loved. It's a deeply humanizing experience.

many used to think stormare was bergmans secret child

they used to work together too

Sounds very Swedish to me.

Both are rhythmic, sing-song type languages so I kind of see what you mean, but I think Bergman sounds typical for a Swede speaking English.

Well, in fact this close-up at the very end of the film is the one he's talking about: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1jIGrFYJG6k.html
