In Reply to: Wild Strawberries… “A – Swedish – Christmas Carol”? A “Scrooge” of the soul? Or…? posted by sjb on March 18, 2007 at 18:36:11:
(The first was Nights of Cabiria.) And omigosh! My roomie's parents took us out to dinner, then to the movie -- with a promise that it would be different.I'll never forget the moment when, after much silence, the carriage wheel (axle?) clanged so loud. I've never jumped like that at a "horror movie". Thank goodness for theatres and theatre sound. (It was the classic revival house, still going, the Brattle.)
Did you view it with subtitles? If so, I wonder whether they've been redone, the originals were crappy. The dubbed version is the best job I've seen (heard?), and clarifies the scene in the operating theatre where, as it happens, an abortion is being carried out. Whose?...

was what it might have been like to see this in an earlier time... when it was more revolutionary (and/or just to be seeing it in a theater). I have to admit that I had to work a little upfront to let it take me for a ride as many things in it are almost the stuff of later student film cliches. Once I put that out of my head and got into it it was easy to see the brilliance of the work.Yes, I did see it with subtitles. Don't know if they were redone. It's a Critereon Collection disc so MAYBE they sorted some of that out. Still couldn't tell it was an abortion scene in that dream. Who's? I may have to see it again and really think about that. Maybe it was just about swimming in the collective unconscious as when he came out of that dream he was told the story of his son's reaction to his daughter in law's pregnancy.
"Who's?" Who's not?... ;-)
