Elvira Madigan
(1967)

an enduring love story
I had the pleasure, and good fortune to see this film on the big screen. It exemplifies classic beauty, one is reminded of Renoir paintings. The film uses landscape to reveal inner emotions, a rarity these days. The structure reveals the final outcome in the beginning, leaving us with is an examination of a process so lovingly portrayed by Widerberg, a process so perfectly focused -- a delicate, lyrical love story -- quite an achievement.

Snow Falling on Cedars
(1999)

I wish I could have given the film an even higher score.
This is one of those rare films that not only describes the narrative cinematically, but does so with genuine emotional resonance and polished lyricism. Its use of the flashback does not subject the audience to style but to that of dramatic revelation, and pure inspiration. The wealth of meaning in its design and imagery captured so magnificently by this synergetically creative team makes one wonder just how they did it. It does not seem possible. Truly superb experience. Thank you so much, filmmakers and artists. You should get every accolade you deserve.
