"content": "\u003cp>As my phone interview with Liv Ullmann draws to a close, I hear papers rustling in her New York hotel room. “I had all these notes about Bergman,” she confides with a laugh, she never referred to them. So much the better, for the great actress (and accomplished director, in her own right) had been wondrously in the moment, drawing on a pinpoint memory to elucidate the essence of her alliance with the Swedish icon Ingmar Bergman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had been an actress for seven years, [and] I felt that I had been an actress my whole life,” Ullmann says, recounting their meeting in the mid-1960s. “I had worked with one of his closest collaborators, Bibi Andersson, and I came to Stockholm to visit her. He was an incredible filmmaker in my mind already then. I met him on the street and he had heard about me and seen my films, and he said immediately, ‘I would like to work with you.’ Though that movie never happened, \u003cem>Persona\u003c/em> happened because of that meeting. I think he was very struck, standing there on the street with Bibi and with me, by our alikeness in the way we looked and in the way we talked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13823278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13823278\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12-.jpg\" alt=\"Liv Ullmann and Max Von Sydow in 'Shame,' 1968.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"962\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12-.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--800x641.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--768x616.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--1020x818.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--1180x946.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--960x770.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--240x192.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--375x301.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--520x417.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liv Ullmann and Max Von Sydow in ‘Shame,’ 1968. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of BAMPFA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“When the picture I was supposed to be in was cancelled, Bibi and I went on a cultural tour to Poland and Czechoslovakia.

I was 25 years old, I didn’t really understand it and neither did Bibi, but we understood the feelings. I knew one thing very well, and that I was him. Not that I could verbalize what I knew or understood about him but I recognized him, and I think he recognized me. He was almost 50, he had come to a sad moment where he wanted to isolate and not talk and turn away from society and people and love and everything. And he put all of that into my part. Bibi was the other part — maybe she was him, too — that wanted to connect, to understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small film but a penetrating character study, \u003cem>Persona\u003c/em> marked a change in Bergman’s moviemaking as well as Ullmann’s breakthrough. While the director advised his stock company of Max von Sydow, Erland Josephson and Bibi and Harriet Andersson not to travel or take roles in big films, he wasn’t opposed when Ullmann did it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ingmar would sometimes be asked, ‘What about Liv, and all this world fame she got suddenly?’ ‘Well, it doesn’t matter for her because she’ll always be this girl from Norway. That’s who she is,’” Ullmann recalls. “I think what we recognized in each other was that I was doing things that he would have liked to do but he just couldn’t.

So much the better, for the great actress (and accomplished director, in her own right) had been wondrously in the moment, drawing on a pinpoint memory to elucidate the essence of her alliance with the Swedish icon Ingmar Bergman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had been an actress for seven years, [and] I felt that I had been an actress my whole life,” Ullmann says, recounting their meeting in the mid-1960s. “I had worked with one of his closest collaborators, Bibi Andersson, and I came to Stockholm to visit her. He was an incredible filmmaker in my mind already then. I met him on the street and he had heard about me and seen my films, and he said immediately, ‘I would like to work with you.’ Though that movie never happened, \u003cem>Persona\u003c/em> happened because of that meeting. I think he was very struck, standing there on the street with Bibi and with me, by our alikeness in the way we looked and in the way we talked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13823278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13823278\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12-.jpg\" alt=\"Liv Ullmann and Max Von Sydow in 'Shame,' 1968.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"962\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12-.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--800x641.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--768x616.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--1020x818.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--1180x946.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--960x770.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--240x192.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--375x301.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Shame_002_12--520x417.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liv Ullmann and Max Von Sydow in ‘Shame,’ 1968. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of BAMPFA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“When the picture I was supposed to be in was cancelled, Bibi and I went on a cultural tour to Poland and Czechoslovakia.

That’s why very quickly after I met him he decided to live on [the island of] Gotland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13823282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13823282\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow and Gertrud Fridh in 'Hour of the Wolf,' 1968.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-160x125.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-800x627.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-768x602.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-1020x799.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-1180x924.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-960x752.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-240x188.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-375x294.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/01/Bergman_Hour-of-the-Wolf_003_1200-520x407.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow and Gertrud Fridh in ‘Hour of the Wolf,’ 1968. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of BAMPFA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ullmann describes Bergman and his wife jetting to New York for one night in 1975 to see her play Nora onstage in Henrik Ibsen’s \u003cem>A Doll’s House\u003c/em>, which prompts a singularly incongruous anecdote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He came once to Los Angeles and thought maybe he would do a movie there, but he packed up immediately,” Ullmann says. “Barbra Streisand called him and said, ‘I’m having a swimming pool party tomorrow, just bring your bathing suit and come over.’ That’s when he decided he had to go home very, very, very quickly.

Yet in movies like 2013’s \u003cem>Blue is the Warmest Color\u003c/em>, they saw only situations in which “the couple ends up breaking up because one of them ends up deciding they’re straight again” — or dies.

In it, a neighborhood spat pushes the city of Beirut to the brink of chaos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filmmaker Ziad Doueiri says he was inspired by a real-life incident.

Joelle [Touma], the co-screenwriter, was standing behind me that day, and she says, ‘How could you insult a Palestinian as you said. This is so bad, what you just said.’ I said, ‘You’re right.’ So I came down to apologize and then the guy refused my apology because he was very hurt.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That argument is pushed to its extreme in Doueiri’s new film.

Sometime the simplest thing can be the beginning of resolving a much bigger problem. So that’s why this guy in the film, he wants an apology. All he wants is an apology and then later we start finding out why.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The why has to do with Lebanon’s past — the religious and ethnic divisions that tore the country into warring factions. From 1975-1990, the Lebanese Civil War killed more than a hundred thousand people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lebanon, in spite of its smallness — it’s only 4 million people — it’s still extremely rich because it’s one of those places that has all the religions in it,” Doueiri says. “You have Christians, Shiites, Sunnis, Catholics, Protestants, Armenians, Turks.

Joelle [Touma], the co-screenwriter, was standing behind me that day, and she says, ‘How could you insult a Palestinian as you said. This is so bad, what you just said.’ I said, ‘You’re right.’ So I came down to apologize and then the guy refused my apology because he was very hurt.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That argument is pushed to its extreme in Doueiri’s new film.

When you go and you forbid a film where the main actor, a Palestinian guy [Kamel El Basha], won best [actor] award at Venice Film Festival — first time in history that a Palestinian actor win in Venice or anywhere else in the world, first time! — when the BDS, who are supposed to be protecting Palestinian rights, stop this Palestinian actor to present his movies in Ramallah, basically you’re screwing yourself in the head.

If you hear what I really think, I would be the subject of a different interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ziad Doueiri says his films are his way of healing the scars that still divide Beirut — and his way of pouring water over the insults that inflame so easily.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/QEQDZL6bAXo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/QEQDZL6bAXo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Directing and Original Screenplay nods to Jordan Peele for \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em>, \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Best Picture plus Best Actor nominations for Daniel Kaluuya? Cool. A Best Picture slot for \u003cem>The Post\u003c/em> despite zero recognition in the technical categories, or anywhere other than Meryl Streep’s expected nomination? Weird. Best Director nods for two first-timers (Peele and Greta Gerwig)? A terrific boost for their careers. A Best Actor nomination for Denzel Washington? Clearly, given \u003cem>Roman J. Israel, Esq.’s\u003c/em> low box office numbers, more Academy members saw his performance than did paying customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most encouraging news to be gleaned from this year’s nominations is that the industry appears to have turned a corner after the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/02/26/the-bay-area-talks-back-to-hollywood/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#OscarsSoWhite\u003c/a> debacle. With Mary J. Blige (\u003cem>Mudbound\u003c/em>) and Octavia Spencer (\u003cem>The Shape of Water\u003c/em>) in the Supporting Actress category (along with Kaluuya and Washington in Best Actor), a fifth of the 20 nominated actors are black. Nominations don’t tell the whole story, of course, but you can’t get nominated if you don’t get cast. If the visibility and heat brought to bear by #OscarsSoWhite is resulting in more roles for actors of color, well, keep the pressure on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a gender-equality perspective, the nomination of Rachel Morrison (\u003cem>Mudbound\u003c/em>) in the Cinematography category — the first woman to be so recognized — is a huge development. Director Dee Rees (along with co-writer and producer Virgil Williams) was recognized for the adapted screenplay for \u003cem>Mudbound\u003c/em>, while Greta Gerwig (\u003cem>Lady Bird\u003c/em>) and Emily V.

A volatile tyrant who helmed numerous great films, he made an even larger number of duds. Was he a great artist or just an expert technician who triumphed with grade-A scripts and actors but couldn’t transcend the subpar material he was assigned before and after his prime?

The other half of the 1947 double bill, the Film Noir Foundation-funded restoration of \u003cem>High Tide\u003c/em>, is a nifty, twisty tale recounted in flashback from the low-budget studio Monogram Pictures. Only hardcore noirists will recognize the actors’ names, quite unlike the cast of the Warners’ movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up and down the lineup, Noir City barkeep Eddie Muller has rounded up some of the usual suspects — \u003cem>I Wake Up Screaming\u003c/em>, \u003cem>This Gun For Hire\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Shadow of a Doubt\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Black Dahlia\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Big Heat\u003c/em> — and paired them with gritty, offbeat B movies.
