Just watched Cries and Whispers tonight for the first time and was reminded of what an extraordinary artist Bergman was. His films are such a contrast to the junk food cinema we have today, not only in terms of subject matter, his rejection of conventional narrative, but perhaps most importantly--how he insists on telling the truth instead of giving us stories that are basically lies to make us feel better.

Bergman was fascinated by Hitchcock's visual storytelling. There is a scene from the film Paradine Case with Ethel Barrymore and Charles Laughton as her vile loveless husband sitting across from each other at a dinner table. Bergman borrowed this scene and works the very essence of it into the the film Whispers and Cries, even down to a broken wine glass (and Liv Ullmann as the unloved wife).

My one complaint is that the title of the clip is very misleading. There are less than 20 seconds (!) of Bergman talking about Hitchcock. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful clip. Bergman is so down to earth. He doesn't make the interviewer work at getting a meaningful response, but neither does he dominate or try to overpower his interviewer. No ego trips, no anxiety or hyper-activity. Calm, thoughtful, and open. He seems like a wonderful person.

Bergman actually used a scene from Hitchcock's Paradine Case in his film Cries and Whispers. It is when Charles Laughton humiliates his wife... there is a broken wine glass and Bergman took it much further. Bergman also liked The Birds - Hitchcock's Bodega Bay setting reminds one of Bergman's island in The Passion of Anna. The mysterious animal killer and ghoul lurking everywhere, nowhere is like the bird attacks...

I can understand you see him as interesting, but NEVER say that man is humble. His ego plagued the swedish theatre and film scene. He was vile and evil towards everyone below him, looking down on people working for his vision because they didn't understand his "genius" and how "important" it was for the world to see his vision. If he where contemporary today he would be regarded in the same light as Harvy Weinstein.

Also. as for him being "vile toward everybody below him," I'd be interested in knowing if you have ever worked with or for him? Is this firsthand information or is it just a cheap shot? BTW, '"Harvy" Weistein never directed a picture in his miserable life. Your comparing him to Bergman is pure insolence.

@@eecortese Yesterday celebrating my brothers birthday, my mother told me one other interesting fact. During the production of Markisinnan de Sade they had to rebuild a fire escape so that Bergman had his own entrence because he was so mean and angry at everything and everyone that he would just get in a few meters before he had a rage at someone that would halt production for the rest of the day. A semi interesting aside: my mother recently looked at photos of the costumes and there was something that annoyed her a lot, but had a hard time putting her finger on it. When she did, it was that they had 19th century crinolines, not 18th century ones(as the play was set during the 18th century). Charles Kolory was a great costume/scene/prop designer but he missed some small historical inacuraccy onece in a while.

A wonderful film-maker who, quite surprisingly, didn't have any American counterpart who would make Bergman type of movies. I say surprisingly because he was quite American in his approach to characters, human behavior and relationships. You could say there's a bit of Cassavetes, a bit of Woody Allen but that's about it. I find him more in the European tradition of Bresson and maybe Bunuel.

In fact "The Touch", along with "Serpent's Egg" were two of Bergman's least artistically successful films. Bergman detested The Touch, and in hindsight regretted going to the US. His Swedish sensibility was quite different to North American cultural sensibilities; and the "sun tanned somebodies" that he talked of meeting in Hollywood represented everything European film-making at the time opposed.
