Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
From the 1950s until the late 2010s, Max von Sydow was a ubiquitous presence across many films of various genres, showing there was no part – big or small – that he couldn’t do. If he’d never appeared in any English-language films, he’d still be held in high regard for his collaborations with Ingmar Bergman and appearances in other European films. Similarly, if he’d only shown up in American productions, he’d still have a sizable filmography and his fair share of iconic performances.
Osric helps begin Conan’s quest, with the character seeking vengeance against the man who killed his parents, and Osric wanting someone to rescue his daughter, who’s in the clutches of the same man Conan’s after. Von Sydow isn't in Conan the Barbarian a huge amount, but he makes his screen time count and is suitably commanding a presence as a ruler in this bombastic and extremely entertaining fantasy movie.
Shame DramaPsychological In the midst of a civil war, former violinists Jan and Eva Rosenberg, who have a tempestuous marriage, run a farm on a rural island. In spite of their best efforts to escape their homeland, the war impinges on every aspect of their lives.8 'Minority Report' Director: Steven Spielberg It’s a testament to the quality of Steven Spielberg’s body of work that Minority Report, while pretty great, still isn’t one of the filmmaker’s very best efforts.
It’s something of a Bergman bottle movie, but it works very well, keeping the number of characters down to just four, and thereby leaving no stones unturned when it comes to developing such characters and exploring their dynamics with each other. Through a Glass Darkly isn't a fast-paced movie by any means, and it can be fairly bleak stuff, too, but it’s self-contained, psychologically engaging, and extremely well-acted all around.
5 'The New Land' Director: Jan Troell Just as compelling and challenging to watch as The Emigrants, but for different reasons, 1972’s The New Land concludes the duology that the aforementioned 1971 film began. The New Land picks up with the family having arrived in America, but slowly realizing that life has its own challenges there, with some problems being reminiscent of issues faced back in Sweden, as well as some new difficulties that have to be faced.
