In Reply to: A modern masterpiece, with great performances. The female lead isn't supposed to be sexy and this isn't a romance. posted by Donald on July 31, 2006 at 19:24:21:
Odd that you would call Rosenbaum the word's best film critic, given his opinion of Bergman, as expressed in his review of Saraband - "The performances are perfectly distilled, but the traits I dislike in Bergman are all here -- self-pity, brutality, spiritual constipation, and an unwillingness to try to overcome these difficulties."And "I find a neurotic spitefulness and puritanical narrowness in the films he made after the 60s." You, on the other hand, feel that Bergman is one of the ten best directors ever to have stepped on a set.
World's best, huh. Oh yea, he also liked Star Wars III. But hey, what you do know? And is Rosenbaum a full time film critic? He has reviewed a grand total of thirteen of the of the last 100 films I have seen. Maybe he is the World's best part time film critic who does not like Bergman.
