Does anyone else find Ingmar Bergman films hard to get through?

Not me, they can be challenging and emotionally draining (Though not always), but it’s never hard because I enjoy the experience, or failing that I value it enough to not be bored or anything approaching that. But we all have those filmmakers that have that affect on us.

Persona (1966) - by Ingmar Bergman
I also love this film. It's not a film that bears description very well. It's hard to explain what it's really about, what happens, what the relationships are really like. But you experience them vividly. In some ways I think the structure of the movie is more analogous to that of a piece of music than to a story in that themes are introduced, developed and intertwined to provide structure. The movie doesn't rely heavily on plot. The image where the Bibi Anderson and Liv Ullmann's face's are combined has, like many other images from Persona, stuck with me ever since seeing the film. Since it sounds like you're interested in seeing more Bergman films I'll make a few brief suggestions. You should definitely watch The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries which are two of Bergman's most famous films. You might want to try some of his later films as well such as From the Life of the Marionettes (an homage to Hitchcock's Pyscho), and Fanny and Alexander which may be my favorite of his films (for purely personal and subjective reasons). Also brilliant are Cries and Whispers, Hour of the Wolf, Scenes from a Marriage, and The Magic Flute. I'm also a huge fan of Smiles of a Summer Night which is one of Bergman's few comedies and which is just about as delightful and fun as a film can be. More on reddit.com

Simply, I’m interested to see what people would choose and how they would order it. Extra points if you can tell me why number one is your favourite and why number 10 is number 10.

I’ve recently begun binging a lot of Bergman after getting the gorgeous Criterion Boxset- sadly I’ve been busy and have only seen 5 Bergman films myself sadly. That will soon change over the coming days however! For now, I ask for your completely selfish, honest and subjective top 10s to possibly help me decide what Bergman films I should watch sooner rather than later.

Thanks in advance :)
