Bergman's Cinema Episode Eight

One of the most iconic images in Bergman's Cinema is Harriet Andersson sitting with a man in a bar, cigarette in hand, before she turns to the camera, breaking the fourth wall to stare at the audience beyond. This video breaks down that fourth-wall break and how it forces the audience to reconsider the story.

Films in the intro:

Summer with Monika (1953)
The Seventh Seal (1957)
Wild Strawberries (1957)
Persona (1966)
Cries and Whispers (1972)
Fanny and Alexander (1982)
