but I do think you're right. I would also count Bergman among the group I mentioned, although I'd like to say something like The Sacrifice is the Bergman film I care about the most. Always something a bit academic about Bergman to me, I think that's a common criticism. The Sacrifice, then, is Bergman with a richer humanity, or something along those lines...

I don't think Bergman is academic... his "problem" is that he studies and he talks about the subject that is foreign to many viewers who were brought up watching lesser works - he is absorbed in the human soul. But once you break that initial barrier you discover that he is talking about YOU, and you find more and more of yoruself in his works, and they become unpretentious and comfortable, although still challenging your emotions and self-analysis.And it is so comfortable to know that that tradition is being continued by his student Liv Ullmann, whose Faithless is the masterpiece in its own right, but with extremely strong homage to the great Master.
