Nothing like some good Swanö news.

But the only Swedish cinema gods I know are Dag Swanö and Peter Stormare!

 

[paradoxile]

the man was the Dan Swanö of cinema...pay some respect

Ingmar Bergman was HUGE in cinema and a really wellknown man.... *RIP*

 

[Earthbound]

RIP!
Without him, no hilarious Ingmar Bergman parodies by Robert Gustavson.

Can't say that I've seen much of Bergmans work, but he's a true legend in his field. RIP

Ja, I've never seen him (that I know of) but the fact I know his name must mean he was good! I shall search something out.

you should watch "the seventh seal"(det sjunde inseglet) from 1957
that film is so kvlt...it's about death

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Hehe, sounds grim kvlt and necro! Is it in english or swedish?

 

[paradoxile]

I think all of his films are in swedish

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Ah. I must need some subtitles!! Wait... how come I've heard his name a hundred times if all his films are in Swedish? Bizarre!

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Ah, he just got a mention on Australian news.

 

[Deadlift]

The movie "Sjunde inseglet" is where a guy plays chess with death.

Because he was that good?

I guess so!

A language other than English! NONSENSE!!!! Smells like conspiracy to me!

 

[Cheiron]

The Seventh Seal is excellent. I should check out some of his other movies.

 

[jervi]

Easily one of my all time favourite movies!
Though it's kinda creepy I changed my user title to a quote from that movie a few days ago, without knowing this... :O
Rest in peace Bergman.

I know this would happen the day he died: Ingemar Bergman everywhere, everytime,everyday ( at least a couple a weeks more ) uke: He did the ultimate "deadscen" at last

Bergman ist krieg, some great movies by him, he was a huge music fan too.
