🎞️ingmar bergman's 11 favorite films (1994)
he named these at the Göteborg Film Festival when they asked him for his own top list. not ranked, alphabetical order, his words for one of them below
01
Andrei Rublev - Andrei Tarkovsky, 1971
he later called Tarkovsky "the greatest of them all" in his memoir, not on this list - but this is the film that line gets tied to
02
The Circus - Charlie Chaplin, 1928
03
The Conductor - Andrzej Wajda, 1980
the one I had to hunt down, barely streams anywhere. a Polish drama nobody talks about, sitting on the same list as Rashomon
04
Marianne and Juliane - Margarethe von Trotta, 1981
05
The Passion of Joan of Arc - Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928
Falconetti's face carries the whole thing, no sound needed
06
The Phantom Carriage (1921)
Victor Sjöström, swedish, and you can see exactly where Bergman got his ghosts from
07
Port of Shadows - Marcel Carné, 1938
08
Raven's End - Bo Widerberg, 1963
another swede on his own list, not a coincidence
09
Rashomon - Akira Kurosawa, 1950
10
La strada (1954)
Fellini, Giulietta Masina will wreck you
11
Sunset Boulevard - Billy Wilder, 1950
