I was honestly agapsed when I learned his real age. He felt just so much younger anytime he gave an interview.

My mother just sent this to me. A true classic.

Good gravey, the writer who put Force Awakens in the same sentence with a Bergman film should be shot.

Goddamn, MVS was a legend. Surprised he didn't pass away ages ago, he looked old even in The Exorcist and that was in the '70s.

Gonna have to check out Seventh Seal.

Well, he was only 44 in Exorcist. Dick Smith had him in old man makeup to play a septuagenarian, which is just a testament to his acting and desirability that they'd bother.

Gonna have to check out Seventh Seal.

Definitely, but it's a slow-burn. It's mostly talk (philosophical about the nature of life and death) and that will bw in subtitles unless you're fluent in Swedish. If you're looking for a more exciting collaboration with Bergman and something your dad might be more willing to try, check out The Virgin Spring, which was based on a folk tale and itself became the basis for Last House on the Left (very loosely).

My dad's fine with slow burns, he didn't have a huge problem with Lawrence of Arabia or Seven Samurai. He's not overly fond of subs, but he can get by when needed.
