Ingmar Bergman led me to Sweden. Today he died, but not until I learned enough Swedish to appreciate his movies without subtitles. I would have liked to have met him, but that was not to be. Swedish public television just finished showing Smultronstället. Adjö, professor, indeed.

Stefan, it is indeed funny that our little bloggish homages to Bergman both note the fact that one of the advantages of learning Swedish is being able to see watch Bergman without subtitles!
Your lucky, I’d love to be able to appreciate Bergman on that level!
