In Reply to: Bergman's films, at least his most renowned, are not uplifting nor do posted by tinear on July 7, 2007 at 18:32:13:
I don't know. I enjoy his films on an emotional level, as well as for entertainment....not just intellectually, or for film appreciation. I find many of his films cathartic, and usually feel better after watching one than I did before. There's often a moment near the end of the film when something clicks, and I get the feeling that despite all the pain and suffering life can be good, and it is worth it. That's just me though. This is the way art should be...it affects different people differently.
"Persona" is a really cool film IMO, and after repeated viewings still incomprehensible to me in some ways, like Altman's "3 Women" and Lynch's "Mulholland Dr".
