You'll love his performance as Johan in both SCENES and SARABAND.

Erland Josephson ...Having seen some Bergman films. Erland Josephson is an actor I'm not entirely familiar with other than his association with Bergman having only seen <i>Cries & Whispers</i> and <i>Fanny & Alexander</i> that he's been in. Next weekend, I'm going to watch the theatrical cut of <i>Scenes from a Marriage</i> while the only other film I've seen that Josephson is in is <i>The Unbearable Lightness of Being</i>. I heard about the news last night. I'm kind of sad though I'm more bummed out about the death of Davy Jones of the Monkees. 2 cool dudes. They will be missed.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-68643714926626351302012-02-29T20:56:42.277-05:002012-02-29T20:56:42.277-05:00Josephson was undeniably one of the most talented ...Josephson was undeniably one of the most talented actors of all time. While I have yet to see SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE or SARABAND (I know!) it is his performance in FANNY AND ALEXANDER that really emphasises, for me, his power and brilliance as an actor. I also thought he was stunning in the two Tarkovsky films, NOSTALGHIA and particularly THE SACRIFICE, which is not in itself a great film, but soars due to Josephson's remarkable role.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
