The Virgin Spring.

I am quickly becoming a big Bergman fan... after 42 years of not seeing any of his films I've seen three now in the last several weeks and it just keeps getting better.

There is nothing wasted in this film... everything matters... there's no filler and no skimping (what a tough, delicate balance to achieve).

The acting is pitch perfect (I'm also becoming a big MVS fan) and the story is so immensly tragic and just as immensly, hopeful.

One of the treats of the Criterion edition is a talk by Bergman (and discussion with the students) at AFI. It's audio only but it's a treat to hear him talk about his craft/art.

Next on the Bergman list for me will be the "faith" triology... Through a Glass Darkly/Winter Light/The Silence.


Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
