| Brief Description: | Born and raised in Sweden, his movies are classics which influence
filmmakers to this day. Chaplin called him "the greatest director in
the world." In the States he directed Chaney, Gish and Garbo. Today
most Americans only know him as the star of Ingmar Bergman's (his most
famous pupil) 1957 Wild Strawberries. But his legacy remains--The
Phantom Carriage, He Who Gets Slapped and The Wind, to name just a few
of his many wonderful films--and this fascinating documentary tells
the dramatic story of one of cinema's giants. Swedish with English Subtitles. |
