Here's a bit of an odd confession. I'm starting to like this Ingmar Bergman guy. Mind you, I've only seen two of his films (the other being Cries and Whispers) but he knows how to make a film, let me tell ya! After the Rehearsal is a great movie that makes you think, while marveling how clever the whole thing is. A theater director (played by Erland Josephson) is putting together a production called "The Dream Play". One of his actresses (Lena Olin) stays behind to talk to him about past experie...
Karin's Face" was shown as part of the Bergman retrospective organized by the National Gallery, the American Film Institute, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. It was paired with his 1958 "Brink of Life" in an insightful match.
This is a surprising and lovely film, and thoroughly engrossing, given its brief length. Shot and framed with exquisite care, it validates a favorite past time and the value of looking at old photographs of family members to gain insight into one's self.

-theatre is a limited medium but as such no one in Sweden can understand it and use it as Ingmar Bergman. The world know him as the film director, but in Scandinavia he also stands out as probably the best TV-theatre producer/director ever. In Sweden challenged only by Bo Widerberg and Lars Norén, I think. It shines through in the directing, the way he uses the actors and how they are placed within the "stage room". It's balanced, it's pure and it is physical - it is Bergman.

After his brilliant portrayal of the black sheep Ekhdal in Fanny and Alexander I expected something else from Börje Ahlstedt but didn't know where to find him. I stumbled accidentally on this film that I didn't even know was a Bergman at first. I was completely surprised not only in the acting of not only Ahlstedt but Erland Josephson and Marie Richardson as well, but by Bergman's capacity to come up with so many ideas in a moment in his career when other brilliant directors are long forgotten. ...

The color red holds so many facets of symbolism in this picture. If you've seen Woody Allen's "Manhattan", then you may remember when he called Ingmar Bergman the only person he could truly consider to be a cinematic genius. Like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bergman digs deep into the human psyche... only he does it cinematically, which is an even greater achievement. This is just one of those rare, important films艾格尼丝（哈里特·安德森 Harriet Andersson饰）、玛丽亚（丽芙·乌曼 Liv Ullmann饰）和卡琳（英...

Superb Fairy Tale.
Once upon a time there was a tailor who had three sons ( a fat one, a tall one and an idiot one ). Since the tailor had no work for his sons, they decided to go on a journey to try their luck. The tall one found in the forest a goblin who taught him carpentry; a year passed and when the apprentice decided to return back home, the goblin gave him a magic table that would be filled with meals only by saying "Table-Be-Set". On the journey home, the tailor's son was robbed i...
This is probably one of the worst films I have screened in a very long time ! I was really looking forward to seeing Palermo Shooting, but what a disappointment. Beautiful cinematography, great music - but the plot and dialogs ? My goodness ! What was Wim Wenders thinking ? Such a waste of acting talent ! Especially the dialog - most lines were laughable they sounded so hollow ! We saw it in Cannes at the Grand Palais Lumiere where it premiered. So many people left before the end the end of the ...

导演约翰•格里蒙普莱（Johan Grimonprez） 收集了许多关于劫机的录像，对这些素材片段进行了剪辑，被认为是关于9－11空难的警示。
大兴安岭的鄂伦春族人，大多数已经永远地结束了狩猎生活，居住在了山下的定居点。而鄂伦春人孟金福，则依然保留着最原始的生存方式，信奉火神、月神，万物皆神，尤其是信奉山神，相信是山神给了他猎物和住所。孟金福在很多树上雕刻了山神的摸样，对他膜拜。偶尔有筏木者将这样的树砍掉，会让他和同他一样信奉山神的人难过很久。本片忠实记录了这些鄂伦春人的最原始的生存方式，尤其是他们制作桦皮船的工艺，但是随着这些老鄂伦春人的逝去，古老的传统就渐渐遗失了。
ヶ月ほど前、ある人からお誘いを受けて、映画の試写会へ行って来た。今度の土曜日、１２月１３日から公開される「大丈夫であるように～Ｃｏｃｃｏ 終らない旅～」って映画だ。サブタイトルからも分かるように、この映画は、沖縄出身のシンガーソングライター、Ｃｏｃｃｏを追ったドキュメンタリーなんだけど、それほどよくＣｏｃｃｏを知らなかったあたしは、すごく楽しみにしてた。
あたしが知ってたＣｏｃｃｏは、ＰＶやライブ映像で観た断片的なＣｏｃｃｏで、１枚のアルバムをちゃんと聴いたこともなかった。そして、そのころは、昔...
