      It is true that he didn't do many talkshows like this, but as a Norwegian born in the 1970s I remember him doing a lot of interviews and sharing very candidly his thoughts on filmmaking throughout the years. Very often these interviews came in the form of news stories, or TV documentaries about him working on a new film, working on a TV drama or a stage production. But since these were in Swedish and shown mainly on Swedish and Norwegian television, the rest of the world haven't really seen them and might get the impression he avoided journalists. But in fact he was quite accessible to Scandinavian reporters, he directed many productions for SVT (Swedish Television) and would always answer their questions.
      Countries like Sweden (and the rest of Scandinavia) is very egalitarian and open, even the biggest artists tend to be very accessible for both journalists and other people in general. I can't think of any major artist of similar stature over here who acts like a recluse and doesn't talk to the press, and the same goes for Bergman.
      It's different with those who go to Hollywood and stay in the States. They get treated so much differently, and end up acting accordingly (like Greta Garbo's infamous private life in New York). If you had access to the Swedish tv archive you would find a lot of interviews with him, except that they are in Swedish (which I guess only Swedes, Norwegians and to an extent Danes understand). 🤷🏼‍♂️

    The last time I saw this interview was in 1971/72 when I was living in Sweden. Dick Cavett flew to Sweden specifically to interview Mr. Bergman. I believe Bibi Andersson was brought out later. At the time I knew nothing about Mr. Bergman or his movies, but because of this interview I made a special effort to go see Wild Strawberries. It has since become my favorite movie. Ingmar Bergman was a brilliant director. Swedes are wonderful actors.

    Thank you very much for uploading this. I’m so glad that Bergman discussed that particular shot because Wild Strawberries is one of my favorite Bergman films and that closeup has always impressed me as one of the highest moments movies have reached. It’s fascinating to learn that the shot was made under such trying circumstances, and it’s even more fascinating that Bergman was able to see the result fairly objectively, in that his on-set trial didn’t hamper his appreciation of that gorgeous moment.

    Can someone explain Wild Strawberries for me? Does Isak achieve redemption at the end? To me it seemed like Evald worked out his problems on his own accord and that Isak had nothing to do with it. Isak’s redemption only happens in his own eyes. Is it inferred that he begins life anew after the film ends with a better outlook on life?

    • @brentnoury7626
      @brentnoury7626 Před 2 lety +1

      I agree. And perhaps that maybe the point, that Evald and wife and child will be ok. But such is life...who knows.

    • @alfabrizio6005
      @alfabrizio6005 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I don't think there really is resolution. Bergman's films are often like that. He'll create situations and characters that are ambiguous. You start out thinking that Isak is an unpleasant man, but through the lens of humanity, especially as seen through the perspective of Sara and her friends (the youngsters), he emerges as a different person, worthy of love and affection. It turns out that Marianne's rather uncharitable assessment of his was quite wrong. You also see how his marriage affected him in a negative way. What I love about Bergman's films are the deep humanity as he takes the magnifying glass to individual lives to witness the contradictions and difficulties. In the end, there's no one to blame for the frailty of being human. And I think that's why the film is loved. It's a deeply humanizing experience.
