This is fantastic in and of itself but it is a fantastic example of how shallow the talk show format has become in comparison to what it used to be.
Hate to tell you but 4 minutes later Bergman was performing karaoke with cavett
@@JameswindsorsmithHow long was the total interview?
@@mikesmith-pj7xz 19 hours, they had a wet tshirt contest too which dom delouise won

Bergman didnt do many interviews so this is interesting
It is true that he didn't do many talkshows like this, but as a Norwegian born in the 1970s I remember him doing a lot of interviews and sharing very candidly his thoughts on filmmaking throughout the years. Very often these interviews came in the form of news stories, or TV documentaries about him working on a new film, working on a TV drama or a stage production. But since these were in Swedish and shown mainly on Swedish and Norwegian television, the rest of the world haven't really seen them and might get the impression he avoided journalists. But in fact he was quite accessible to Scandinavian reporters, he directed many productions for SVT (Swedish Television) and would always answer their questions.
Countries like Sweden (and the rest of Scandinavia) is very egalitarian and open, even the biggest artists tend to be very accessible for both journalists and other people in general. I can't think of any major artist of similar stature over here who acts like a recluse and doesn't talk to the press, and the same goes for Bergman.
It's different with those who go to Hollywood and stay in the States. They get treated so much differently, and end up acting accordingly (like Greta Garbo's infamous private life in New York). If you had access to the Swedish tv archive you would find a lot of interviews with him, except that they are in Swedish (which I guess only Swedes, Norwegians and to an extent Danes understand). 🤷🏼♂️
@@nerd_in_norway Thanks for commenting.
Last night I watched "Wild Strawberries" again, many years after the first time. It is such a beautiful work, and the final close-up of which Bergman speaks is just as profound as he says. This film is a masterpiece of world cinema.
Bergman will live for centuries.
Saw Wild Strawberries last night and was blown away. I had only seen The Seventh Seal before. I definitely need to check out more of his work
Oh my God--I went on a Bergman kick several years ago. He was very prolific. I think his prime period was late '50s to mid'60s.
U need to check out his entire body of work Persona, Autumn Sonata, everything he made
@@racheledwards2352 most def! I picked up the Criterion Bergman boxed set and I'm slowly working my way through it
@@iscream2232 enjoy!
@@racheledwards2352 I've only made it through the first 6 films in the collection. Smiles Of A Summer Night is my favorite one so far. So underrated. Super stoked to see Hour Of The Wolf down the road
The last time I saw this interview was in 1971/72 when I was living in Sweden. Dick Cavett flew to Sweden specifically to interview Mr. Bergman. I believe Bibi Andersson was brought out later. At the time I knew nothing about Mr. Bergman or his movies, but because of this interview I made a special effort to go see Wild Strawberries. It has since become my favorite movie. Ingmar Bergman was a brilliant director. Swedes are wonderful actors.
James Hendin SAME AS ME! :) 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I watched Criterion edition of Wild Strawberries last night. It's about looking back at your life and the regrets you have. Stay humble and cherish the people close to you. So simple but but hard to do.
He really spoke very well english
What an incredible resource these interviews are. Once upon a time there really were giants.
Wild Strawberries was a masterpiece
Such a relaxing voice! My favorite director 👏
Never seen a Bergman interview. Love his filmmaking style. Thanks for uploading this and others!
This is my favorite Bergman film, having seen almost all of them. I traveled the same road trip as seen here, between Stockholm and Lund, where my daughter was studying at the university where the doctor was going to receive his award. It was a thrilling experience. The actress who played the daughter-in-law, Ingrid Thuringia,
You didn't finish your comment, it ends mid sentence.
Saw wild strawberries today,
If the creation is so beautiful, then how radiant the source would be.
I saw the thumbnail and thought he looked like some American guy. Talk Shows today are dumbed down garbage compared to Mr Cavett's brilliance.
Wild Strawberries is my favorite Bergman movie
Thank you very much for uploading this. I’m so glad that Bergman discussed that particular shot because Wild Strawberries is one of my favorite Bergman films and that closeup has always impressed me as one of the highest moments movies have reached. It’s fascinating to learn that the shot was made under such trying circumstances, and it’s even more fascinating that Bergman was able to see the result fairly objectively, in that his on-set trial didn’t hamper his appreciation of that gorgeous moment.
It's interesting to see Ingmar Bergman talk about Swedish film History when he today is the definitive example of "Swedish Film" through history.
It seems to be true for all the greats to be steeped deeply in the history of their craft.
Love "Wild Strawberries" Classic Movie. Thanks for sharing this Interview!
Great interview! I haven't seen all of the famous Bergman movies, but so far WS is my favourite.
I hope he (Sjöström) got to see the picture, and I wish he'd known, that so many decades later, his performance would still move viewers - at least me.
Ineffable Artistic Work....
Astounding.
I love Ingmar Bergman and I adore Dick Cavett and I highly recommend SCTV's parody of Bergman.
Wild Strawberries is one of my favorite Bergman films.
Wild Strawberries is definitely on my top ten list.
"Art happens" - James Whistler
Best film ever done
It would be amazing a Bio Pic of Ingmar Bergman... He could be characterized by Daniel Day-Lewis; he looks like a little bit like Ingmar. ❤️
I'm not sure if he looks like him...but I like the idea of that very much. I 2nd that.
Haha. It would be so cool to hear another accent from daniel day lewis. The man has mastered tuning his voice as he wants.
I wish theyd show the film clip

@@Jarek_73 Thank you
IgridThuin, is brilliant.
Thought it was Payton manning by thumbnail
Ingmar once commented upon re-watching Wild Strawberries that some of the 'cutesy scenes' with the young students made him physically nauseous! I agree it is a flaw but WHAT A MOVIE ANYWAY.
Perhaps on a rewatch, but to me they worked quite well as a juxtaposition and mirror for the relationships in life.
hahahaha too intelligent for an American Television. No silly jokes, no gossip and no silly laughter and hes not rying to be likeable to others and trying to be witty snd funny.
xwarx1000 it is refreshing he was just himself. Naturally profound. All of his interviews are like this.
Yes exactly, he is sincere. Lovely to see.
The word Bergman is looking for at the end is spontaneity. "The close-up ... it was spontaneous". Too bad it got lost in the translation.
i wanted to see the close-up
Very pretty!
Et skandinavisk film gigant...
Glory holes
Dick Cavett is so cute 😍
I agree!
Promises were very important to Isak Borg, too.
The word he’s thinking of is “Spontaneous”
Meaning not rehearsed
Anyone knows which closeup they're talking about? What's the time in the movie?
1:30:51
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
Thumbnail looks like Peyton Manning
Can someone explain Wild Strawberries for me? Does Isak achieve redemption at the end? To me it seemed like Evald worked out his problems on his own accord and that Isak had nothing to do with it. Isak’s redemption only happens in his own eyes. Is it inferred that he begins life anew after the film ends with a better outlook on life?
I agree. And perhaps that maybe the point, that Evald and wife and child will be ok. But such is life...who knows.
I don't think there really is resolution. Bergman's films are often like that. He'll create situations and characters that are ambiguous. You start out thinking that Isak is an unpleasant man, but through the lens of humanity, especially as seen through the perspective of Sara and her friends (the youngsters), he emerges as a different person, worthy of love and affection. It turns out that Marianne's rather uncharitable assessment of his was quite wrong. You also see how his marriage affected him in a negative way. What I love about Bergman's films are the deep humanity as he takes the magnifying glass to individual lives to witness the contradictions and difficulties. In the end, there's no one to blame for the frailty of being human. And I think that's why the film is loved. It's a deeply humanizing experience.

I fucking love Ingemar Bergman.
Knock knock who is there? Ingmar Bergman (Southpark-Casa Bonita)
What do we have now? Marvel Movies
Hope the old bugger got his whiskey
where's the closeup?
Bergman looks a bit like Peter Stormare. A mix between Stormare and Nicolas Cage.
many used to think stormare was bergmans secret child
they used to work together too
Hearing Bergman speak explains the cadence of his films.

Funny; his accent sounds more Italian than Swedish.
Sounds very Swedish to me.
Both are rhythmic, sing-song type languages so I kind of see what you mean, but I think Bergman sounds typical for a Swede speaking English.

the close up is in the trailer

Well, in fact this close-up at the very end of the film is the one he's talking about: ua-cam.com/video/1jIGrFYJG6k/v-deo.html
Imgine Bergman being on Jimmy Fallon, or any other American talk show today. Inevitably being asked to play an asinine game of "truth or dare" or some other kindergarten equivalent.
Well, a dying man has got to have his whiskey! (3:15). But seriously -- what a wonderful story about such a wonderful scene at the close of a wonderful movie!
