Favorite Bergman film..others similar to this?


I'm new to the man and have only seen three of his films: The Passion of Anna, Persona, and Through a Glass Darkly. I know most Bergman fans rate those latter two pretty highly but I wasn't terribly into them. I think some of it has to do with the subtitles. The themes demand a lot and I find that I get distracted by reading the words and pondering questions, so I miss what is happening on the screen. In turn, I wasn't drawn into those two films as much as The Passion of Anna and wasn't compelled to invest the time to watch them over again. I feel like Bergman has so many films out there, that there must be something for all different sorts of viewers. Specifically I'm looking for good ones that focus on the relationship between man and woman. Suggestions? thanks

"Scenes from a Marriage" and "Shame" are two movies you'll never forget. They are two of Bergman's greatest.
