Seems fair to me.

American films depicting the intrinsic truth, Weltschmertz and very esprit of Aspen, like "Dumb and Dumber", often are circulated in a rather light-hearted fashion by well renowned, established Swedish distributers like (non-profit:) organization) The Pirate Bay™.

Ingmar Bergman the great Director from Sweeden.
Many of his films included the actors Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson, & Liv Ullmann

Foreign Films from Ingmar Bergman to the French Francois Truffaut and some Italian greats is one reason I would never waste my time with Holywierd films and American actors.

“Ingmar Bergman? She was great in “The Bells of Saint Mary’s”!”

- Reverend,

There is a wide difference between INGRID Bergman the acress and INGMAR Bergman the director.

Namely the one of gender.

The former ought to be associated with bells, the latter with balls (at least in this actual sense).

Thanks for these appreciative words of Bergman on the behalf of me and everyone else here in Sweden who feel proud of Bergman’s contribution to Scandinavia and beyond.

You are welcome. Many of Bergman’s films could be seen several times over and you would see something new.
Great work.

It is hard to decide which Bergman film is my favorite, but I'll say CRIES AND WHISPERS. A gut-wrenching work of art.

“You’re obviously not a vintage MAD reader!”

- I used to be back in the seventies (but today I’m 39).

Today, I focus on the Internet.

Why?

I got a gypsy woman (givin’ me advice) and she told me the Internet is where my future lays.
