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.
