“So you want to watch this Ingmar Bergman movie with subtitles? What’s it called – Summer With Monika? Sounds, um, complex!” Andy has it worked out.
“Looks pretty dull to me, but I’m a cat.”
“Boring! I spend my life with no clothes on.”
“I’ve watched it for several minutes now. You’ve missed nothing!”
** “See what I mean?”
** The subtitle on the screen reads: “He and I would sit at home all evening, neither saying a word.”
=(^+^)=
Eventually, I saw enough of the movie (without subtitles, thanks to Andy) to realize I have seen the movie before. I would have enjoyed seeing it a second time, but Andy managed to block the screen long enough for me to lose the thread of the story.
Bad kitty! I suppose I could have moved him, but then I would have lost content for today’s post. See how I sacrifice for you!? LOL!
Love this piece. And Bergman, but I feel there is a lot of autobiography in everything he did. I did a little review of a film of his here with nine other films https://thestreetphotographersguide.blog/2018/02/06/the-10-greatest-films-for-a-budding-photographer/
It is difficult to stop at ten best! I happen to agree with each of those you chose, though I would add Il Postino, Cinema Paradiso, Life Is Beautiful, Babette’s Feast, My Life As A Dog, The Indiana Jones series, All the Mornings of the World, Farinelli, Au Revoir Les Enfants, The Music Room, Shakespeare Wallah, Bicycle Thief and too many more to list! I agree Bergman drew on his own experiences in his work, part of what makes his films so engrossing. (I enjoyed your reviews, incidentally!)
Thanks so much. I think I could have gone top hundred and ten each review but for budding photographers I thought it would be too much. Love your choices
I have to agree with you. Too many really good movies to list, and it would be easy to list them by country or movement or… you know what I mean!
Absolutely. So many countries influences by so many different people and movements both political and art
The first film made in a different country that I saw was “Umbrellas of Cherbourg”. It was a revelation! Of course, the incredibly beautiful Catherine Deneuve didn’t hurt! LOL!
She never hurts! But they were times when even photographers like William Klein, Who are you Molly Magoo, and his sarcastic homage to New York were made and devoured liked or not.
How true!
You better believe it! Who wants to see half naked peeps when we can see naked birds and mice…mol

Exactly what Andy meowed!
I’m with Andy, this show looks boring. I can’t read English so forget it. Put the subtitles in cat, like meow…mewwww..mo….me…me…me. Now I understand….these people are boring…

He tried to spare me the hassle, as you can see in the photos, but it was a pretty good movie for human audiences! He probably would have love, love, loved it if I put up a film on rats, squirrels, or birds.
You need to get them their own chairs and bucket of kitty treats so they let you sit down and enjoy the movie. 🙂
LOL! If I can keep them in their seats, I can enjoy the movie!
Andy is really the movie worth watching there and he comes in high definition & 3D, too! Tee hee hee!
Thanks, Valentine! I tend to agree!
Andy was certainly bored – but we appreciate your sacrifice.
Thanks! (I had seen it before, so I exaggerated the sacrifice….)
