it's nuts how many of his films i've seen without ever watching an interview of him
I didn't even knew he did interviews 😣
@@notsureiL Even more embarrassing, I didn't know he could speak fluent English.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess I always considered him a sort of a mythical figure.
I didn't know Ingmar Bergman did talk shows on his day. Wow that's gold!
He was very press-friendly. He had an NBC correspondent on the set of Persona.
To make this interview Dick Cavett had to go to Sweden and build a set there!
@@mitocondriaUAU_ really, though he said something akin to 'here in sweden' in one of the clips.
Yes, it is! I'd like so much to hear about all the movies that he thought were the best/worth seeing!
I didn’t know he spoke English. I thought the blonde was his translator
Bergman liked Five Easy Pieces! This makes me very happy.
Bibi Anderssn looks so enchanting and beautiful here... May she rest in peace.
RIP Ingmar Bergman (July 14, 1918 - July 30, 2007), aged 89
You will be remembered as a legend.
I doubt it. Everything he did was nihilistic.
'I have a lot of feelms on my ISLand'....Mr. Bergman you just described my idea of heaven
Teacher: What would you bring on your island?
Bergman: I have a lot of films on my island.
One of the true great artists of the 20th century!
He wasn't.
It is funny that he says that Hitchcock has "learned" him a lot. In Swedish the same word is used for learn and teach :-)
True that, when I lived in Sweden my teachers always made that mistake in school.
It's like host: a word that can work both ways.
Cool little shoutout for Five Easy Pieces there, so sick
Totally. Rafelson's proudest moment:)
Bergman talking about Hitchcock and Five Easy Pieces, enough to make this a great day.
Game recognize Game.
Five Easy Pieces features my favourite Jack Nicholson performance, such a great film.
So this is ingmar Bergman. Loved "Wild Strawberries." :)
Try the seventh seal, persona, through a glass darkly and a scene from a marriage.
Just finished his memoir, 'The Magic Lantern'. Amazing story for an amazing man. Thank you, Mr. Bergman.
Bergman really did enjoy all kinds of movies. A friend of mine used to work in a Stockholm video store, and Bergman once came in to rent Terminator 2.
Sadly, he was not a fan of Citizen Kane.
Was it at Casablanca at Sveavägen?
Terminator 2 is the perfect movie- every scene is better than the previous
Seeking counterbalance for his racing thoughts:-)
@@TheListenerCanon WOAH...really??
Not surprised Five Easy Pieces is the film he singled out, themes are right up his alley. I appreciate this upload, Bergman was a better than expected interview subject whenever I've seen him.
What would you say are his main themes?
Just watched Cries and Whispers tonight for the first time and was reminded of what an extraordinary artist Bergman was. His films are such a contrast to the junk food cinema we have today, not only in terms of subject matter, his rejection of conventional narrative, but perhaps most importantly--how he insists on telling the truth instead of giving us stories that are basically lies to make us feel better.
Giving love for 5 easy pieces! Rafaelson must have been proud.
Bergman was fascinated by Hitchcock's visual storytelling. There is a scene from the film Paradine Case with Ethel Barrymore and Charles Laughton as her vile loveless husband sitting across from each other at a dinner table. Bergman borrowed this scene and works the very essence of it into the the film Whispers and Cries, even down to a broken wine glass (and Liv Ullmann as the unloved wife).
If the Lumiere brothers created the cinematographer and Sergei Eisestein the montage, then I consider Alfred Hitchcock as the father of modern cinema.
Ofcourse it was liv ullmann he was a simp for her but who wouldn't be
The screenplay that he is talking about would a year later become one of his best films - Cries and Whispers.
Wow, it is amazing go see Bergman in this casual laid back livingroom like conversation. Great insight into his persona.
Bergman one of the greatest ever! Bibi is on another level! Great actress! Beautiful woman!
Sitting there, wearing just his Nirvana cardigan and his unmistaken face of pure intelligence.
Dick is one of the premier talk show hosts, of all time :)))
In his class: the top, the best. As far as comedy is concerned, he was only surpassed by Johnny Carson.
@@raminagrobis6112 yes, agreed ...Dick was an intellectuals friend, for sure ...Carson, was no intellectual slouch either ... :))
@@raminagrobis6112 Dick Cavett's interview with Woody Allen is something incredible though :')
@@Sam-qc6sz na
4:13 "You know, Hitchcock I would learned me a lot. His technical standard is enormous, especially in his earlier pictures." That's the entire discussion of Hitchcock, if you'd rather not watch the whole clip.
I recall reading that he said Hitchcock was infantile.
@Corno di Bassetto I don't care for all of that. I think Bergman is the best ever.
@@sultanalharbi2998 Hahaha, Hitchcock was infantile? Bergman was a narcissistic emotional toddler.
@@frankfeldman6657 Hey! He is my favourite filmmaker.
@@sultanalharbi2998 that wouldn't surprise me at all. I clearly don't see an introspective and reflexive person like Bergman appreciating that kind of work, which is afterall mostly superficial and sensational. But then again, credit is due where credit is deserved and on a technical perspective, Hitchcock knew the craft like no one else.
His "Seventh Seal" made the same year as the mammoth Demille "Ten Commandments", and yet Seventh Seal was so much better.
No, Bergman and Tarkovsky could easily beat it
My one complaint is that the title of the clip is very misleading. There are less than 20 seconds (!) of Bergman talking about Hitchcock.
Nevertheless, this is a wonderful clip. Bergman is so down to earth. He doesn't make the interviewer work at getting a meaningful response, but neither does he dominate or try to overpower his interviewer. No ego trips, no anxiety or hyper-activity. Calm, thoughtful, and open. He seems like a wonderful person.
Bergman actually used a scene from Hitchcock's Paradine Case in his film Cries and Whispers. It is when Charles Laughton humiliates his wife... there is a broken wine glass and Bergman took it much further. Bergman also liked The Birds - Hitchcock's Bodega Bay setting reminds one of Bergman's island in The Passion of Anna. The mysterious animal killer and ghoul lurking everywhere, nowhere is like the bird attacks...
Interestingly enough, Hitchcock's famous cameo in The Birds is he walks by with the dogs. Bergman had a similar cameo in the 1955 film Dreams.
@@filmbuff2777 I must watch for that! I haven't seen early Bergman in decades, it
should be a treat.
And to this day, 3 years later, he still thinks it is Whisper and Cries
In the Hour of the Wolf there are some Hitchcock elements here and there..
4:12 - for the Hitchcock
I was so used Bergman speaking Swedish...glad to hear in English.
What a genius human being
Bibi Anderson looks so pretty in this interview. What a doll.
This is gold...amazing that it exists.
Bergman was an expert craftsman of films. Highly influential to other directors. Wonderful to hear his viewpoint.
Ingmar Bergman is so interesting and humble.
I can understand you see him as interesting, but NEVER say that man is humble. His ego plagued the swedish theatre and film scene. He was vile and evil towards everyone below him, looking down on people working for his vision because they didn't understand his "genius" and how "important" it was for the world to see his vision. If he where contemporary today he would be regarded in the same light as Harvy Weinstein.
@@polkjarga1 If you would, tell us exactly what you mean by Bergman's "ego plagued the swedish theatre and film scene." Also. as for him being "vile toward everybody below him," I'd be interested in knowing if you have ever worked with or for him? Is this firsthand information or is it just a cheap shot?
BTW, '"Harvy" Weistein never directed a picture in his miserable life. Your comparing him to Bergman is pure insolence.
@@eecortese Yesterday celebrating my brothers birthday, my mother told me one other interesting fact.
During the production of Markisinnan de Sade they had to rebuild a fire escape so that Bergman had his own entrence because he was so mean and angry at everything and everyone that he would just get in a few meters before he had a rage at someone that would halt production for the rest of the day.
A semi interesting aside: my mother recently looked at photos of the costumes and there was something that annoyed her a lot, but had a hard time putting her finger on it. When she did, it was that they had 19th century crinolines, not 18th century ones(as the play was set during the 18th century). Charles Kolory was a great costume/scene/prop designer but he missed some small historical inacuraccy onece in a while.
A wonderful film-maker who, quite surprisingly, didn't have any American counterpart who would make Bergman type of movies. I say surprisingly because he was quite American in his approach to characters, human behavior and relationships. You could say there's a bit of Cassavetes, a bit of Woody Allen but that's about it. I find him more in the European tradition of Bresson and maybe Bunuel.
Cries and whisper is still the most beautiful non-cgi movie of all time.... At least for me
This is a treasure.
5 easy pieces has a bit of wild strawberries in there
Love Bergmans soothing voice
Hitchcock was English not American but totally agree!
Where’s the rest?
The clip summary didn't mention the other guest, actress Bibi Andersson, whom Cavett seemed generally to ignore.
i was watching this today at 2am ;( i love persona, taught me about the fourth wall
I don't think he ignored her at all. She's just not as talkative.
this is not the full clip. they talk more in the full interview
@@WalterLiddy these feminists invent ways to get offended, just ignore em
@@AA-sn9lz you seem to be just looking an excuse to generalize and insult feminists when it doesn't have anything to do with the original comment.
Uluslararası üne kavuşmuş bizim herhangi bir sanatçının bu denli mütevazı ve olağan bir röportaj verdiğini düşünsenize. Ben düşünemiyorum mesela :)))
A great record!!!
It’s clear from Bergman’s early movies he watched a lot of Hitchcock
I am not against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason?
How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos.
This is Swedish accent for you :)
He is so honest...yes movies is a drug... transports you elsewhere...but I thought auteurs were different...guess we are all viewers when the curtains go up...
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
Did you check out those Go-Go boots on Bibi??? LOL
Sitting on leather sofas for an interview is very funny lol
Bibi Andersen is so beautiful
Is there any audience? Seems so quiet
Bibi Andersson was HOT
Zising
For me is the best director ever...
what about nolan tho?
@@HerbalistGuybrush I love Nolan. But if you ask him he will agree with me. 👍
@@HerbalistGuybrush nolan ,nolan doesn't even come near Paul Thomas Anderson ,
Kinda random to just throw in PTA for no reason. Why didnt you mention all the other directeurs nolan doesnt come close to in your opinion?
@@HerbalistGuybrush talking about contemporary for example but if you think he is the best well it's your opinion I won't change that , if I have to mention more it will be a while ...
RIP Bibi
He's Swedish but he sounds Italian! 😄
He speaks English with an Swedish dialect, "Stockholmska" to be correct
He’s the guy who knocked out Floyd Patterson.
What do you mean. Did Bergman beat up Floyd?
This was funny at so many levels. Simple and genious humour at the same time. Thank you!
@@grimlund Look up “Cheers Ingmar Bergman” on CZcams and prepare for one of the funniest scenes in television history. LOL!
Wait...did he talk about Hitchcock?
Great art ...true art ...should provoke you to something ...or how can you call it, true art ...great art ...it should change the world ... :)) ...as Jesus changed the world
I like Bergman
I love Fellini
I adore Tarkovsky
You forgot Melville
you forgot joe dante and stuart gordon
Bergman is better then Fellini. Bergman was Tarkovsky’s idol.
Kurosawa
Bibi Anderson 😃
I wonder if he’d still have the same attitude with some of the dreck made these days.
He keeps talking about "earlier pictures" even though, from our vantage point, he's right in the middle of the best era of film. That's the common thread whenever I watch an old interview: "things aren't as good these days". As time passes, we remember the good ones and forget the bad
This title is misleading ...Five seconds about Hitchcock ... Please ...
I didn't think he speaks English. I'm very surprised.
He does speak English, I don’t think he likes to though. He has a very noticeable stammer if one sees his interviews.
About 99% of all Swedes can speak english.
Wow, Bergman looks just like a normal guy
Andersson is so beautiful it's distracting - as I'm sure Cavett was experiencing.
this was ALMOST BLAND ...until ingmar admitted that movies are a DRUG!...touche
Is someone triggered by the couches squeaky noises too?
Peyton Manning in 20 more years.
In fact "The Touch", along with "Serpent's Egg" were two of Bergman's least artistically successful films. Bergman detested The Touch, and in hindsight regretted going to the US. His Swedish sensibility was quite different to North American cultural sensibilities; and the "sun tanned somebodies" that he talked of meeting in Hollywood represented everything European film-making at the time opposed.
None of his films are bad, but, although entertaining,the Serpent's Egg could be the least good&the least "Bergman" among them.
I'm still glad it exists .As "experimental" as it is, it adds colour to the opus. 🙃😊
@@notdeadjustyet8136 The worst one of the 40 or so I've seen is All These Women/Now About These Women. A wonderful cast, but just a painful 80 minutes. He could do comedy, but not comedy that broad. The Touch at least has that masterly opening with the Andersson character arriving too late at the hospital, and I'm one of the defenders of Serpent's Egg.
For a Swede, Ingmar Bergman is pretty dark
It seems he has Huguenot ancestry.
It's not really that rare for a swede to have dark hair
My father has pitch black hair and he’s Swedish.
@@spacefertilizer I’ll bet that there’s some admixture somewhere
@@capoislamort100 I think the fault is the media and culture’s fascination with Swedes as blondes. We were never a fully blonde nation, but it is one of the nations where blonde hair is most frequent. It doesn’t mean 100% of the population is blonde though.
She's aged a lot here since Casablanca
+MoeGreenesEye Ahahahaha, shutup.
bibi ...man i was in love but very young ! anyway 3 guys you must not see the films ! that guy , godard and Doillon ! i forgot tarkowski ! so boring ...
May you stagnate in your ignorance.
Like some crappy made up movie almost matters in the hole concept of the world
More than some crappy made up comments...
@@NostalgiNorden ur a blithering imbecile n asinine jackass! Now stfu fool!
"Hole". fucking idiot lol
wow, that's really deep.
@@irish66 do u think made up pretend fake stories matter?
huh...he said he didn't like him/found him boring...
