"I shall remember this moment: the silence, the twilight, the bowl of strawberries, the bowl of milk. Your faces in the evening light. Mikael asleep, Jof with his lyre. I shall try to remember our talk. I shall carry this memory carefully in my hands as if it were a bowl brimful of fresh milk. It will be a sign to me, and a great sufficiency."

Mack's Movies 2013: April (19 movies items)

" April 28th: Hulu plus, computer Overall opinion: Great I've wanted to see this for so long, and it totally lived up to the hype I'd built in my head. What a great movie. For a film made in the 50's I really loved the characters portrayed; I felt for them, didn't want anything bad to happen to them. It felt real to me, too. Not like a modern medieval period piece, but I had to remind myself that this was made in the 50's and not earlier (probably since it was in a language I didn't understand"

My movie year 2013 (284 movies items)

"25.4. (Kirjasto-DVD) Alan olla samoilla kanteilla Bergmanista Roskaelokuvat-kirjan kanssa: mahtipontisia ja filosofisia ihmisluonnon kuvauksia esitetään ja hoksaavaa dialogia viljellään, mutta mitä enemmän näitä näkee, sitä enemmän ne alkavat kyllästyttää. Kyse ei ole ymmärtämisen puutteesta, sillä itse väitän kenen hyvänsä ohjaajan teoksiin kunnolla keskittyvän kyllä hiffaavan tämän pointit. Lopputulokset ovat toki hyvin näyteltyjä, kauniisti kuvattuja sekä oivalta"

Movie Reviews (part 1) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: The chess game between Death and Max von Sydow and everything in-between. The discussions about faith, darkness, light, love and cruelty. The dark humor. The unforgettable ending. The actors. The great dark cinematography. The Downs: Isn't anything bad here I think. A true classic."
