Body: Has no one ever seen an Ingmar Bergman film before? What about an Anonioni film? We need some discussions here about these two masters of our time. What do you remember about either of their films? Write something soon everyone.

Body: Wow, I'm so glad for this group. I'm glad to think that at least if their deaths result in some sort of revival of their works, say if Criterion were to put out a box set covering the whole of Bergman and the whole of Antonioni at say $500 a pop, well, at least the library would have it. At least Blockbuster would have them in a warehouse somewhere. I would love to see a comprehensive retrospective of their works. That aside, my wife and I were talking about Bergman tonight and I was confessing that I never really "got" The Hour of the Wolf. She is Swedish herself, so she "got" it instantly. Long lonely winters. Stern Swedes cooped up together. They go crazy. You have to go crazy to live in such a strange world as the far north. Long nights, long days. Everything gets topsy-turvy and even the heartiest fracture eventually. She saw strong cultural bias in nearly every setting of Bergman's. Idyllic Summers and dark lonely Winters. Strict shadows. Cold air. And these moments of fragmented abandon. So I thought perhaps a discussion about what is quintessentially Swedish might be in order. I wonder what Swedish cinema holds in the shadow of Bergman. With all that goth metal, there must be more madness up there. What new films are coming out of Scandinavia? I noticed Film Movement has a ton.
