Re: Your opinion on Bergman's trilogy?

Yes, I expect that with her collaborations with Bergman all these Years, that is how she is more or less expected to act, almost a type casting situation, wouldn't you say. And completely agree; Woody Allen couldn't out-Bergman Bergman, and neither will any other Director, though they will continue to try!
I like her best in "Cries and Whispers", while it's scarcely an elevating theme, she plays her role so well it's impossible to imagine any other actress in the part, while subtlely upstaging the other players at the same time, showing at once vulnerability and strength; a real talent. Recent pictures of here as part of the "Trilogy" look like she has hardly aged at all; just how did she do that?
And Sven Nykvist, I like best in Louis Malles "Black Moon" from the same era, he's allowed a playfulness and free hand in that film that he would never have got away with under Bergman, I guess Malle let him off the leash somewhat for that one.
*Sigh* Maybe you will get the answer you want (apologies!)
