I'm not as cavalier about placing Fass in the second-tier. His subjects are certainly very different from Bergman's, seemingly more specific but applicable to other situations, i.e. Lola could be a woman struggling in a country after any war.
Bergman appeals to the intellect but he doesn't as fully engage one's heart: that's why I'd relegate HIM to a less than primary position, though I'd not insult him by using "second" in any description.
In other words, I think he and Fass are like Cab and Pinot, very different species and not easily to be compared.
