The ones I'd rewatch.. Still think Shame is special.

centenary retrospective starts in my city next week, and it's going to run for TWO YEARS. wtf? not sure how they're doing it / if there will be multiple showings. only 30 films vs. the FF's 47. CRISIS is first up, didn't you see that one at the FF morbs? I remember a post you might've made something to the effect of "well... everyone has to start somewhere I guess."
the two years thing is blowing my mind. i'm sort of cross thinking i'll have to wait until 2019 to see Cries and Whispers in a theater.

no, I watched Crisis at home the other day; it's not good either, but there's a novelty in seeing him do a '40s melodrama with heavy stings of soundtrack music I guess.

Saw Port of Call tonight. Such a leap from Crisis, only 2 years later but with 3 films in between. Lots of stunning closeups, cool dolly shots moving between rooms, and one of those perfect, transcendent moments in every Bergman movie: early on, when the girl brings the guy home for the first time, she rebuffs him at first and leaves the room. it's the cut from a medium shot of them in one room to the closeup of her as she leaves, the camera now in the other room. Words obviously do no it no justice but I was really moved by that one moment.

was very moved by WILD STRAWBERRIES a couple of nights ago. Isak’s self-recognition in his mother and son after the conversation with his daughter in law just crushed me

that episode of In Our Time prompted a rewatch. not a single scene in that film that wouldn't make a decent poster.
