Moreso than with most directors, I feel these ratings could change drastically depending where I am in life.

And pretty much all his other films you've seen.

And pretty much all his other films you've seen.Maybe, as it has been a few years.

I think we can agree though that A Lesson in Love is a mediocre comedy. And Smiles of a Summer Night is charming enough but not especially memorable either.

The Seventh Seal is like a filmed thesis rather than a movie. Wild Strawberries is marginally better, despite the slow, disjointed narrative, but it's still burdened with a tendency towards symbolism, as if film only becomes Art when the thing placed in front of the camera isn't itself but a symbol for something else. In these films, Bergman seems to be working against the grain of his chosen medium.

I have little use for angsty gab-fests, like Through a Glass, Darkly and Winter Light. I like the The Silence better in part because there's less dialogue.

I can barely remember The Passion of Anna, but it struck me as fairly mediocre at the time. And I've only seen the theatrical version of Fanny and Alexander which only interested me in the second hour, when the mother marries the priest. Those I should probably revisit.

And Saraband was a talky bore.

One of my favorite filmmakers -- and the greatest director of actors I can think of. Liv Ullmann's performance in Face to Face is mind-boggling.

Cries and Whispers - 10
Scenes from a Marriage - 9
Autumn Sonata - 9.5

He might just supplant Kubrick as my favorite director; I need to see more of his work.



Nine years and a day later:

Crisis - 7
It Rains on Our Love - 5.5
A Ship Bound for India - 5.5
Music in Darkness - 5.5
Port of Call - 5.5
Prison - 5.5
Thirst - 7
To Joy - 5.5
This Can't Happen Here - 7
Summer Interlude - 7
Secrets of Women - 5.5
Summer with Monika - 7
Sawdust and Tinsel - 8.5
A Lesson in Love - 2.5
Dreams - 7
Smiles of a Summer Night - 4
The Seventh Seal - 8.5
Wild Strawberries - 10
Brink of Life - 5.5
The Magician - 7
The Virgin Spring - 8.5
The Devil's Eye - 4
Through a Glass Darkly - 8.5
Winter Light - 7
The Silence - 8.5
All These Women - 5.5
Persona - 10
Hour of the Wolf - 7
Shame - 7
The Rite - 4
The Passion of Anna - 5.5
The Touch - 5.5
Cries and Whispers - 10
Scenes from a Marriage - 8.5
The Magic Flute - 5.5
Face to Face - 5.5
The Serpent's Egg - 7
Autumn Sonata - 7

Fanny and Alexander - 8.5
After the Rehearsal - 5.5
The Making of Fanny and Alexander - 4
Karin's Face - 7
In the Presence of a Clown - 4
Saraband - 5.5



In the end, I still gotta go with Kubrick as the best. After having seen all these Bergman movies I have to confess that I found many of them exhausting and a bit too repetitive.

Almost 9 years later, and I haven't seen any new Bergmans, although I have rewatched a few off of this list. Only thing I would really change is to make The Seventh Seal a 10, and perhaps drop Hour of the Wolf to about a 9. The one I'd be curious to revisit right now is Fanny and Alexander.
