Woody Allen may be the late Ingmar Bergman’s greatest fan. Bergman’s The Seventh Seal shows up in Allen’s Love and Death (his best “absurdist” comedy). Bergman’s Wild Strawberries can be seen in Allen’s Deconstructing Harry. The pair would even have a cinematographer in common, the great Sven Nykvist.
