Ingmar Bergman in Santa Monica
May 10th, 2005 by Andre Soares
Between May 26-July 7, 2005, the American Cinematheque at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, Calif., will be presenting a series of films by Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
Among the scheduled films — in new 35mm prints — are Autumn Sonata (1978, May 26), a harrowing tale of mother-daughter lovelessness that boasts excellent performances from Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Bergman; Trollflöjten / The Magic Flute (1975, May 29), a filmed play from Mozart’s opera; and Viskningar och rop / Cries and Whispers (1972, July 7), another harrowing — and beautifully shot — drama starring Ullmann, plus Ingrid Thulin, Kari Sylwan, and an outstanding Harriet Andersson.
The Cinematheque will also present a special sneak preview of Bergman’s latest film, Saraband (June 30), the story of a lawyer (Liv Ullmann) who feels a sudden need to contact her ex-husband (Erland Josephson) whom she has not seen in thirty years. Needless to say, heavy drama ensues.
