Not much going on this Sunday night, apart from the Masters (all hail Rory for defeating Enemy of the Blog Scottie Scheffler), Orban going down, and the world generally going to shit. In the course of reading a profile of Stellan Skarsgard I came across this:
Stellan Skarsgård has weighed in on famed director Ingmar Bergman’s Nazi sympathies as a young adult.
The actor was speaking at the Karlovy Vary film festival in the Czech Republic, where he was promoting Joachim Trier’s film Sentimental Value, inspired by the late Swedish director. Skarsgård expressed his personal dislike of Bergman, with whom he worked on a 1986 stage production of August Strindberg’s A Dream Play.
“Bergman was manipulative,” said the 74-year-old Swedish actor, as first reported by Variety. “He was a Nazi during the war and the only person I know who cried when Hitler died. We kept excusing him, but I have a feeling he had a very weird outlook on other people. [He thought] some people were not worthy. You felt it, when he was manipulating others. He wasn’t nice.”
All I can offer is my complete ignorance about every part of this story.
