does it make you feel better about humanity, does it uplift you or... do you feel depressed, negative?
Bergman is the classic, "glass is half-empty," guy and, FOR ME, that keeps him from reaching the pinnacle of artistry. Still, notice I did say, "titan." They were, after all, the parents of the gods.
Eugene O'Neill, in theatre, is similarly dark and pessimistic about the human condition. I think both take the easy way out. Finding hope, happiness, and peace--- and convincingly conveying it, is much more difficult.
Bergman, very occasionally, shows a glint of humor but hardly enough to leaven the goth.
Who'd want to spend much time with him; no wonder he's a infamous recluse.
