Re: Your opinion on Bergman's trilogy?

***Criticising his Trilogy would be akin to criticising cracks in the Cistine Chapel ceiling; nothing in Art or life is ever perfect as we know, but in the face of truly great Art we can only be humble.

I don't see it quite that way. It is simply the matter of the standards, and anything could be held to either higher or lower ones.

My intention was not, however, to criticise, but to see what reactions the others might have had to that series. Of course it was not directed by Ingmar, just written by him, but his style shines through. I do love Liv Ullmann's work, she is very talented, just look at her bit in the "Lumiere and Company". Perhaps her trouble in that series was in trying to stay too close to original Bergman's style, and of course no one does Bergman like Bergman.
