Gunnel Lindblom, Sven Nykvist and Ingmar Bergman during the shooting of The Silence 1962.

Bergman in the Museum?

Bengt Wanselius

Noted on Bergman

"For me, consequently, the '90s and the aughts, as I call this past decade, will always be the time when Ingmar Bergman saved my job. I wasted so much of those years enduring theater that made me wish I were somewhere else; at Bergman's productions, I sat riveted, secure in the hands of a master even when I took violent exception to his choices."
- Michael Feingold, The Village Voice, Dec 22
