As I look at my Netflix queue, I see "too much Bergman" coming up soon, namely "Through Glass Darkly" and "Cries and Whispers."

After watching "The Seventh Veil" and "Persona," not to mention "Ikiru," I think I need a little breather.

So I've got Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" coming next (?).

Any other GREAT movies that are maybe a bit different and more, eh, entertaining?

"La Dolce" is just what you need. Bergman does have light comedies, such - tinear 18:18:40 07/08/07 (1)
as "Midsummer..." in his arsenal, too.
"8 1/2" is, of course, a wonderful Fellini, too, but I'd also look at the other giants of Italian cinema such as Antonioni, Rossellini, Bertolucci.
(Fanny and Al I found crashingly boring... that was many years ago, however).

  I too had a hard time making it through F & A, at least the first half or so. Watched it again more recently and it seemed totally different, and not slow at all this time.

...his last "real" film and tremendous fun along with the more serious, philosophical stuff. It's a joy to watch and is autobiographical to boot.
