Current Events > Wtf. I recently had the dubious pleasure of watching a few Bergman films.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just. Wtf.

I thought Lars von Trier was depressing and fucked up, but this is something else. Miserable characters with bad relationships, problems with people around them, and mental illnesses. Hardly any music. Even the black and white is depressing. I'm not saying these films were bad...but they were like anti-films or something. Stuff like The Hour of the Wolf, TAMD, and Shame. I can't imagine more than a small number of people on CE have actually watch any Bergman films, but if you have, what do you think of him? Oh, and his obsession with Liv Ullman was pretty annoying. I mean, she was in a bunch of films as the female lead, usually playing the same role...some downtrodden woman who has to put up with a man with a stronger personality who causes her problems. This is Valerie Solonas' worst nightmare.
