I really don't care for fiction. It's so sad that I am so jaded and pessimistic. But this film, and The Seventh Seal, I will always love. They make you think and you really lose yourself in them. Wild Strawberries to me is disturbing but The Seventh Seal ends on a hopeful note. Do yourself a favor and put aside the crap that is today's cinema and watch these two films. You will wonder how cinema has sunk to such an utter low.
love how the clock has no arms and how the churchbell sings and the hooves click clacking upon the ground create the beat of time and how the shadow man is like the arm of the clock...etc this scene is beautiful. Unfortunately i haven't seen this film yet but it's deffinately one of the next ones I really want to see. I love Ingmar Bergman
I guess Mario Bava must´ve been a Bergman fan. His surreal horror opus "Lisa and the Devil" was definetely inspired by this film. The film´s eerie beginning reminded me a lot of this scene. Also, some of the scenes at the haunted house were quite remiscent of "Hour of the Wolf"
the message of the movie seems so heartfull and positive without being over sentimental or naiv. The perfect movie for melancholic people looking for something to cheer up the mind. Even for a cynical person like me it was hard not to believe in Bergman's humanistic perspective on life.

Some most scary horror movies will not be equally thrilling as this sole moment of Bergman's film. Victor Sjostrom, the world known Swedish actor and director from the silent era (consider for instance the fact that the only Garbo "lost film" THE DIVINE WOMAN was directed by Sjostrom) does a splendid job here.
My favorite Bergman film. Nobody ever got like him, capture on the big screen, the mysterious atmosphere that gradually immerses us in the past life of Dr. Isak Borg, who appears as a spectator of his own dreams and memories. Anyway, great film about old age, life and death and a wonderful sample of surreal cinema.
Great cinema by a master. About fear? Yes, of course. The fear conjured up by the human heart and mind contemplating the fate if its foundation in the physical world. I think Bergman's vision is of the human condition....just very honestly and clearly presented.
THAT WAS BIG. WOW.

I think the Pink Floyd's "The Time" came as inspiration with that movie sequence

Fun fact: 2:02 look at the shadow on the wall, you can see the man holding the wine glasses that will be used to create the blood effect at 2:22.

Was this the first movie to use a harp arpeggio to indicate "this scene here is a dream"?

Anyone else who thinks that Pink Floyd (Roger Waters) got some ideas for "The Dark Side of the Moon" album from this sequence... ?

The glasses/eyes under the clock remind of the ones on the old worn out sign across from the gas station on The Great Gatsby.
