Episode 168: Ingmar Bergman Part II

It's been a while, but the Director's Club was spending some time putting together the Part Two of our Bergman 101 Project looking at all the films of the master director. This point of his career features some of the more legendary films of all time, and with the help of Film Discussion Group co-organizer Peter Richards, we not only look through a glass darkly at classics like "The Seventh Seal", "Wild Strawberries", and "Persona", but we also encounter a dark religious fable, a horror film about artistic scrutiny, a sex farce involving The Devil, and a notable trilogy of films (not the one you may be thinking about). Take a look at our take on one of the most bountiful set of films from a single director in history!
