American Splendour is kinda bittersweet. There's really really funny bits and really really sad bits in it. Its one of my favourite films.

Anyone know where i can get this film????

as far as i know, it is not yet available on dvd with english subtitles, alas. i have it on video. its an amazing film, but to me its much heavier and bleaker than irreversible, which i do think has some very beautiful, uplifting and life affirming scenes in it.

its available for rent in laser, but i could lend you my copy gary.

Film Four show it regularly with subtitles.

The Region 4 DVD (Australian) has removable subtitles but there are complaints about the aspect ratio (appears to be cropped).

Great movie!

Saw it on telly in the US a few years ago.

That Criterion DVD looks tempting.

Would love to own all the Criterion releases...

some great films there.with regards the Bergman ones do you prefer them to the more known ones or are they just more depressing?scenes from a marriage is the most excrutiatingly dour-slit your wrist watching it film i've ever seen.don't even want to see saraband now.

I like Fanny and Alexander most. Scenes From A Marriage is excellent too (the extended cut of both make a lot more sense I reckon).

His 'faith' trilogy - Through A Glass Darkly, Winter Light and The Silence are profoundly downbeat and really show how fragile emotions are. At a push I'd prefer the likes of Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal and Fanny.. but he's a seriously amazing director. Cries and Whispers is devastating too.
Never seen a bad movie by him.

wasn't mad about scenes from a marriage and persona was a bit wanky,still haven't seen fanny and alexander.the fact that it's two videos made me keep putting it off.maybe this weekend.and then all the rest
