Martin Scorcese On Ingmar Bergman 

He's not too intimidated to admit *"I didn't understand a lot of what was happening."*

What Mr Scorsese says is spot on about Bergman’s films: a conversation with himself.

Bergman is the painter of the human soul

Bergman was a master filmmaker i urge anyone who hasnt seen his films to discover them

Recently watched Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries for the first time and simply blown away by both of them. So much depth and philosophical questions to think about whilst being presented in a way that comes across as remarkably genuine and without seeming pretentious. Really want to see more of his work and its great to see Scorsese, a filmmaker I also greatly admire and has made fantastic work praise him

Bergman is perhaps the director who has best related existentialism and art, and then give us masterpieces and advanced in his time, a great director.

Bergman’s films were profoundly personal meditations into the myriad struggles facing the psyche and the soul

Ingmar Bergman is the only film maker who elevated cinema from an instrument of mass entertainment to a fine art. All the others who attempted to failed. In the pantheon of motion pictures illuminaries there is Bergman and then there are all the rest.

Exactly, truly artistic work doesn’t go out of fashion. I wish more artists were aware of that.

This is like Led Zeppelin talking about The Stones. Two of my favorite directors in one video.

Would love to see more of Marty's talk on Bergman, especially on his contemplations about God etc.. I'd be thinking about his questions or possible portrayals of God or how his characters would percieve him for long after I see his films, so to go deeper with Scorsese who does the same with his films would be really fascinating. I need to see more of Ingmar's films too while I'm at it. Wish they could get all of his catalogue onto the likes of Amazon.

Having seen Wild Strawberries, I have to agree that Ingmar Bergman is a really good filmmaker. That film alone is amazing.

So one of my favorite directors praises one of my other favorite director. Scorsese Bergman Kubrick Mean Streets is pure art. Too bad they never meet for a round table discussion when Bergman was alive.

I love Scorsese's humility. He is the greatest director of all time and yet speaks like someone who is just a film fanatic.

I love seeing Scorsese talking about directors he admires, he's so smart yet wholesome at the same time

Ingmar Bergman, um genial cineasta, que mostrou que não estamos sozinhos nas nossas angústias existenciais.

Bergman I think is my favourite foreign director. He was amazing. His films are all so interesting.

Maybe the best post on what a storyteller does.

I love listening to this guy speak, he is so enthusiastic about what he does, i find him very infectious and he seems to be very well read and knows things about history. I love Tim Burton, Tarantino doesn't need my promotion, but i think its fair to say, Scorsese's the best, hands down.

Clearly you haven´t seen Adam Sandler´s films. They are spiritual experiences

i could listen to marty talk all day

So far I have seen Persona and is almost done with The Seventh Seal. And they were something to behold, especially Persona!

"The Making of Fanny and Alexander" is an excellent documentary that shows Bergman at work.

Why am I here? Does God exist? Am I capable of loving another person? Must I fight against injustice? All questions, and more, that Bergman continually raises.

Best teacher in the world, sir scorcese

Bergman is everything

Imo, Persona is the greatest film ever made

The Seventh Seal and Virgin Spring was mind-blowing !!

How I love the pasion of cinema that feel Scorsese

Bergman`s use of non-dialogue, just letting us catch the soul of each individual by watching them, is something few, if any in commercial film today dare to do. They are afraid to be different, because there is a budget and profit to be made, and the standard recipe must be kept, at all costs.

I don’t believe there has ever been a more inspired master of reality than Bergman.

I wonder how they manage to make a three hour cut of a five hour movie Fanny and Alexander still be so good.

As far as the governors of this still relatively new art form is concerned, Bergman is - as far as I can tell - the deepest and the most serious.

Salute sir😁

He is very respected director in Turkey

Wise guy this Scorsese dude.

I've seen many of Bergman's works, nearly all, including the very early work. I would say his most accessible work is 'The Sepent's Egg.' Most folks don't realize David Carradine starred in a Bergman film. 'Scenes From A Marriage' is extraordinary- no adult who has ever been in a long-term relationship can fail to watch it to the end. My very favorite, however, is 'Face to Face' due to Liv Ullmann's transcendent performance as a psychiatrist who is slowly losing her mind.

He may leave you behind a little…💛

What is this interview from? Would love to see the full interview

You know somebody like Bergman is a master of cinema when Scorsese steals many things of his films

We did not at all take Martin Scorsese too seriously when were little. Now that I am a man I do things like a man, thinking like a man, appreciating like a man.

so that's what makes me and scorsese equal, our love and adoration for ingmar fucking bergman

Wild strawberries, Persona, The Silence.

Marty knows ...peace brother

What’s missing - and what would be interesting to hear Scorsese comment on - is how he as a Catholic reacted to Bergman’s very Lutheran films.

NICR

Good call Marty.

For anyone (especially males) in a state of severe depression, I recommend watching The Seventh Seal.

What song is playing in the video?

He feels about Bergman the same way I feel about him

Guess I have to start watching Bergman movies

0:01 - 0:17 - 01:00

Watching Mean Streets, Goodfellas, The Irishman, the first thing that comes to mind is Bergman...Bergman...Bergman... ; )

Bergman is ecclectic. The Swedish emotional restrictivness is tangible through the screen. La légèreté of the French should bring some air into the atmosphere of Bergmans 'pictures'.

*Scorsese

Scorsese is spelled wrong

Scorsese is really the American Ingmar Bergman... The religious dilemma, the strong commitment to serious drama, horrid characters fighting their inner demons, the amazing acting throughout, the sense of claustrophobia. Even if there are a couple of American directors that are slightly better (Welles, Malick, Kubrick possibly), none of them are as impressive from a purely dramatic perspective. Even though Scorsese has a multitude of influences ranging from Powell, Ford, Walsh, Godard, De Sica, Visconti, Fellini, Antonioni, Bresson, Kurosawa, and even though his films are a lot flashier than Bergman's, the emotional core in his films resonates most with the films of Bergman (and Kazan). We can see it in most films like Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Bringing Out the Dead, even in The Departed. I think he is the best dramatist after Bergman. He probably might not have understood everything that went on in a Bergman film when he was younger, but from his films, it seems clear that he has understood enough to create his own masterpieces. The reason people do not really draw parallels between Scorsese and Bergman could be because Bergman was exceptional with his female characters, while that is somewhat missing in Scorsese's films relatively speaking. Bergman is the #1 filmmaker of all-time in my mind, and Scorsese would definitely be in the Top 10. And Scorsese is always humble while speaking about his favourite masters, which is an amazing quality.

Scorsese the type of guy to move his head instead of the toothbrush

Bergman made some great films, but he also make some real stinkers. Seventh Seal was a favorite as well as Cries and

Who

If you want meaning in this life, it's Bergman, if you want to see God, it's Tarkovsky.

Börrgmänn.

Get his name right

Scorcese isn't qualified to talk about a genius like Bergman

Devil

As a Swede I never liked any of his movies. I even left in the middle of the movie because it was too dark and depressing!

What ever happened to the rule of show dont tell in film? His characters constantly sit around telling in trumped up pseudo-intellectual dialogue. A lot of his films are very pretentious and extremely tedious. I like Cries and Whispers and Wild Strawberries a lot, but the others are pretty average and fall far short of what they are wanting to be. Just my opinion.

Bergman is overrated.
