A classic sketch that would make Bergman proud with Catherine O'hara as Leave Ullmann and Andrea Martin as Harriet Andersshom. Another great Bergman parody is Scenes From An Idiot's Marriage.
shareAgreed. I was showing my brother Whispers of the Wolf (he's never seen Bergman), and he was dying laughing. For me, the best parts are Eugene Levy as the Deskman, and that shot where Andrea Martin is in Catherine O'Hara's hair.
shareThe best is when Count Floyd gets pissed after and wants to know who put that bad movie on his show. "Who put that on, was it Mrs. Prickley"?!
The other is at the end of Sneak Previews(Season 3) and Siskel(Flaherty) & Ebert(Thomas) say what movies they will review on their next show and one is the latest Igmar Bergman film "Winter Pledges" based on a Swedish fraternity house in the mid 60's(and the poster shows a whole bunch of guys crammed in a phone booth as thats their frat house).
IMDB's most overlooked poster,giving you true posts since 2001J-Dilla 4-Eva
The Bergman spoof was so well composed I could have sworn they used Sven Nykvist as the cinematographer.
shareYes, but first Count Floyd tried to brazen it out with the kids, pretending it was a scary movie. FLOYD (in Lugosi voice): "You don't think alienation is scary? They couldn't communicate in this world..."
shareLove this skit too. To say that the humor was original at the time is an understatement. My 20-year-old son just shakes his head when he sees my wife and I cracking up watching the DVD of this. Most young folks today just don't get it.
