ste!!a gassaway: unpredictable thoughts

It was 1973 and I was just getting ready to head off to design school in NYC. I made many trips to the Waverly Theater in the 70′s. I remember that I saw my first Bergman film there, Cries and Whispers. I became a fan and later saw Scenes from a Marriage, and The Magic Flute in the same theater. It was the beginning of my understanding of films outside of the Hollywood model. He was part of my growth as a person and as an artist. Luckily we all can experience his films again and again always discovering new places inside his films and inside ourselves. This list is from wikipedia. Check out what they have to say and then find out for yourself.

Do you remember the first Bergman film you saw? Tell me about it.
