Rating:  - A "Passion" For Bergman
Hearing about the recent death yesterday of Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman I felt compelled to review one of the master's films as a sort of tribute. But which one? I've reviewed so many of his films on Amazon. "Wild Strawberries", "The Seventh Seal", "Persona", "Scenes From A Marriage" and "Fanny and Alexander". Then I suddenly thought about this movie.
Bergman was and still is my all time favorite director. No filmmaker in the history of cinema has shown the human condition in ... Read More
Rating:  - The Passion of Anna
In "Passion", Bergman addresses the recurring theme of human isolation. Eva is a vulnerable woman in search of identity, Elis a successful architect whose cynical, assured veneer is a barrier to intimacy. Anna deals with her own plight by righteously proclaiming the value of "honesty" in relationships, yet deceives herself about her own unsuccessful marriage. Soon, Andreas remembers why he'd craved solitude in the first place. In this multi-layered character study, Bergman includes sequences where ... Read More
Rating: - A strong effort of the late 1960s
The protagonist of Ingmar Bergman's 1969 drama EN PASION (The Passion of Anna) is Andreas Winkelman (Max von Sydow), a fortyish year-old man who has isolated himself on an island after some rough years. There he meets Anna (Liv Ullman), who herself has a mysterious past in which her husband and son perished in an automobile accident. The troubled relationship that builds between the two, and the interference of slightly threatening neighbours Elis (Erland Josephson) and Eva (Bibi Andersson), form the ... Read More
Rating: - The Passions of Ingmar
There's a lot going on in this movie, maybe too much. Andreas (Max Von Sydow), running away from some obscure disgrace, has come to live in a mildly dilapidated farmhouse on a small island. Bergman is working in color in this movie, and cinematographer Sven Nykvist is up to the challenge. He paints with an end of winter palette, the browns of wet, muddy ground, the gray of soupy overcast, the weak blue of late winter skies, the grey/white of dirty snow. Andreas moves through this bleak landscape ... Read More
Rating: - Another fine Bergman film of the 60's
I would have to agree with Marc Gervais when he says on the documentary to this movie that it is perhaps one of Bergman's most successful efforts of the period. Persona opened the door, but 'the passion of anna' completely explodes with innovation. This is one of Bergman's first color movies - and Sven Nykvist proves that he is also a master in this medium.
