I never saw an interview with him until this (shame on me). He is nothing like I would have imagined. He is great guy, down to earth, and not full of himself like so many filmmakers, great or awful. I know it's late, but thanks for the post.

@@brelfpv1437 Because just as all people are not identical, nor are all members of the Church, nor are all believers. Some Christians and churches can understand that not everyone is where others are in the faith/belief scale and aren't threatened by that. Many are not the foaming zealots the media and "intellectuals" like to portray. As a Christian, myself, "The Seventh Seal" does a superb job of illustrating the different types of people in the world and how they react to faith, to life, and to its end.

His comments about the chair at 6:10 closely echoes a scene in Fanny and Alexander, where Allan Edwall's character present a common nursery chair to the children as an ancient Chinese artifact (the scene after Christmas dinner, with the magic lantern). Likewise, at 9:00 he talks about the "little universe" of the stage/cinema as a mirror of reality which also echoes the speech that Allan Edwall's character gives to the theatre company at their Christmas party. Interesting how both these made it into the film later, both presented through Allan Edwall's character and with a great deal of emotional weight.

There is something about Ingmar Bergman that draws you in directly. It is incredible how quick you can relate to him. He is such a considerating person, full of empathy and reflections upon life. You could listen to him for ages. It is exactly the same with his films. As soon as they start, you´ll be taken to another universe. You could just sit and watch Bergman films your whole life. There will always be something that is directly connected to the situation you are in. His ability to be in the present moment is extraordinary. It is clear, that there are many many magic moments in his films. We can be very grateful to share all these precious experiences! ❤

Yes, he had great presence (both in everyday life and when he was doing something that put him "in charge", like directing a film or a theatre play, giving an interview or the like. It comes through in his way of speaking and writing, even in print: he had a keen sense of the telling word, the effective, revealing description, of characterizing people - and he was. of course, a very good storyteller. The interview book "Bergman on Bergman" (in Swedish 1970, translated into English in 1973) is permeated with this: interviewed by three interested Swedish film critics who were of course well prepared for their effort, he opens up, talks very openly about his development as a filmmaker, his early and later films, his relationship with the actors and with film production - fun, very direct, disarmingly honest, generous with praise for his actors and completely willing to accept the responsibility when he feels a film didn't live up to what he had meant it to be. "-The film premiered on a friday and nobody was expecting it to be the biggest critical bomb they had seen at the movies. It was funny, and my second fiasco that week. - What was the first one? - "Three Knives from Wei", Harry Martinson's Chinese play, which we had finally got to a premiere at the Royal Dramatic Theatre and then saw it butchered by the critics. (---) We were hellbent that we were gonna make a perfect colour movie and dammit we did, but that's all there is to say about it. Unfortunately that film *is* a failure: there are no two words about it. Curtains." (IB on "All Those Women", his uninspired final outing in the regular comedy genre on film, from 1964). Colour films were a very new thing over here at the time, there had been very few attempts, and Bergman didn't go for another one until "The Passion of Anna" at the end of the 1960s.

The trick with the chair, described at 6:15, was pulled into the screenplay of "Fanny and Alexander" (1982, but the script was written in 1979). Late on Christmas night, the father and rather unsuccessful actor Oscar tells his children and brother's children about the wonderful, magic chair that has come down from ancient Eqypt and after thousands of years of adventures has landed in the kids' chamber of the Ekdahl family - and then he proceeds to poke fun at his own trick. The kids are equally delighted with both parts of the performance.... :)
