When does a DVD featurette become a full length picture? When it is two-and-a-half hours long and is directed by the dude who made I Am Curious – Yellow. If you find Bergman funny, then you’ll like hearing him babble about God. So I was amused. Also: the scenes of him hitting rewind and fast-forward on his flatbed editing system (and kinda being obnoxious to his female editor) made me nostalgic. For cutting on film, not of sexism. Like most behind-the-scenes stuff, it is cool for a while, but ultimately you are left wishing you were watching the thing itself – in this case Winter Light.
