By my count, eight of Ingmar Bergman's 63 films made the 1,001 list and, by my count, I've watched all eight now.Persona, Smiles of a Summer Night and Cries and Whispers are three very different films made in three different decades. It's proof of Bergman's longevity, creativity and overall greatness.
Smiles of a Summer Night is thought to be Bergman's breakthrough, Persona is often considered his "masterpiece" and Cries and Whispers was the only Bergman film to be nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award and only one of two times Bergman was nominated for Best Director.
It's my first post of 2011. Thought I'd start out with a bang.
