Nilsson

In honor of Ingmar Bergman’s one hundredth birthday, the Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive collection of his films ever released on home video. One of the most revelatory voices to emerge from the postwar explosion of international art-house cinema, Bergman was a master storyteller who startled the world with his stark intensity and naked pursuit of the most profound metaphysical and spiritual questions. The struggles of faith and morality, the nature of dreams, and the agonies and ecstasies of human relationships—Bergman explored these subjects in films ranging from comedies whose lightness and complexity belie their brooding hearts to groundbreaking formal experiments and excruciatingly intimate explorations of family life.

Filmed without sets and in available light, the plotless story follows a few cabbies pulling the night shift (Nilsson himself was a former taxi driver). They drive, encounter each other in their cabs, sit around the depot playing poker. The film has distinct sequences played out one after the other, making it feel as if different members of the cast (comprised of actor friends of Nilsson) had their own idea for a scene to be included – so we see an audition for an Odet play, a sequence showing the cab drivers and their fares, a couple of bull sessions around a poker table where stories and jokes are swapped, a two-character dialogue that strips layers off the machismo pretence reserved for everyone else, and a mostly wordless finale when we see exactly what/where one of the cabbies returns to after his shift is done….

Over 16 hours, in February, 1987, a man confronts jealously and rage as a love affair falters. Photojournalist Mel Hurley returns home to San Francisco on the eve of his birthday, expecting his lover, Carmen, to meet him at the airport and tell him if she will be exclusively his. She's not there, she wants more time. Almost 20 years ago, he'd photographed civil war in Biafra, wanting to tell a story that would save people. He now equates that war with his personal struggle: can his photographs save this relationship? He goes to Carmen to talk to her; first he acts the fool, then they seem to connect. But, can he control his jealousy and not force things with her?

Two violinists playing in the same orchestra fall in love and get married, but they can't get along.

NORTHERN LIGHTS has the feel of an old black and white photograph discovered in an attic. The bitter-sweet story of young lovers caught up in an political struggle waged by farmers against the grain trade, the banks and the railroads, NORTHERN LIGHTS brings back a forgotten era of American history and evokes the austere beauty of the Northern Plains.

Each episode Kevin McCloud follows different couples / families who are trying to build / improve a property. They can go from the downright stupid to the most high class and dignified properties.

This documentary will take you behind the scenes of the small town of Vinslöv, in the southern region of Sweden, called Skåne. This town has some really interesting characters… If you like portraits of uncommon normal people, this would be a treat for you.
