Fascinating. I didn't know anything about Bergman before (not much of a cinephile), but you really woke my interest. Thanks for making this vid :) just subscribed too!
Bergman is the greatest director from Scandinavia ever. I'm writing this as a Danish cinephile who loves C. Th. Dreyer's movies deeply, but there is no way around it.
@@DirectorsSpotlight "The Passion of Joan of Arc" from 1928 could be a good place to start if you are also interested in the silent era films. Otherwise, "Ordet" (The Word) from 1955 is my personal favourite and an absolute masterpiece. When I say Bergman was a greater director than Dreyer after all, it is, to some extent, a matter of quantity. There is simply more great movies from Bergman's hand. In terms of actual directing and cinematography I absolutely think they are equals. But Dreyer was surprisingly bad at raising funds for his projects, at least in the later half of his life, which resulted in a smaller output. Bergman, on the other hand, was quite good at it and also got more financial government support.
