The Seventh Seal -- Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. The Best Intentions -- When Scandinavian directors Ingmar Bergman and Bille August joined forces for The Best Intentions, the outcome was a brooding exploration of love set against the volatile Swedish landscape. Taking in breath taking views of both the city and countryside the Best of Intentions dissects the relationship between Bergman’s parents during a time of great change for Sweden; both politically and within society. Saraband -- Marianne (Ullman), some thirty years after divorcing Johan (Josephson), decides to visit her ex-husband at his summer home. She arrives in the middle of a family drama between Johan's son from another marriage and his granddaughter.

Personal Quote:

Among today's directors I'm of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese [Martin Scorsese], and Coppola [Francis Ford Coppola], even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they're passionate, they have an idealistic attitude to the filmmaking process...

Trivia:

He retired from filmmaking in 1984, and then in 2003, at the age of 85, he retired from directing plays. See more »
