He was nominated for two Oscars during his career - including best actor in 1988 for Pelle the Conqueror.

Great actor who was able to play old guys for nearly 50 years.

...he described himself as a doubter in his youth, but stated this doubt was gone, and indicated he came to agree with Bergman's belief in the afterlife.

One can believe in an "afterlife", but unless one believes in the Son of Man, he will go to hell, then eventually the lake of fire (see Luke 16, Revelation 20).

Sydow now knows.

von Sydow vs. Daniel Stern, the rock musician in the market for art = hilarious.

He was also the industrialist Mr. Carlsson in “A Kiss Before Dying.”

RIP, Max.

Thanks for the tip.
I will definitely find it and check out.
TDOTC i’m into it at the 55 min point right now, Max just showed up at the elevator.
Seems like a great flick so far!
Faye Dunaway is very beautiful in this movie.
CIA was full of scoundrels even back in ‘75!
What am i thinking they have always been scoundrels.
a necessary evil so it seems..

The night visitor looks like a very good movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066141/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_131
Liv Ullmann ...yum

unfortunately it’s not on amazon prime unlike a lot of obscure movies are.
Not going to even bother checking netflix.
I highly recommend amazon prime there are literally thousands of obscure flicks to watch...totally blows away Netflix for older movie comment.
So then i go the bit-torrent route and the pirate bay seems to be down yet again....
no worries i WILL get it... ugh

Looks like there was a 2016 remake that is coincidentally available on Amazon PRIME...IT FIGURES...
Just finished Condor i really liked it.
Love those type 70’s flicks.
