Vintage Hotels: Gyllene Uttern
Gyllene Uttern - "The Golden Otter" - in southern Sweden was originally built as a roadside café in 1932 but the castle-like building was added within a few years. It is now mainly a hotel and restaurant. I haven't passed it in many years but it is supposed to look very much the same as when the German Nazi flag was up for German visitors (4th image).

Poster Art: Polish Movie Posters
Honoring the two recently deceased masters of film here is one Polish poster for Michelangelo Antonioni's "Blow Up" (artist: Waldemar Swierzy) and one for Ingmar Bergman's "Summer with Monika" (artist: Wojciech Zamecznik). Both posters are taken from the excellent site Classic polish Posters.
Ingmar Bergman: Persona - the Prolog
uploaded to YouTube by ropbo
Of the much fêted opening scenes in the film, Bergman has said that he wanted to make a poem in images: "I reflected on what was important, and began with the projector and my desire to set it in motion. But when the projector was running, nothing came out of it but old ideas, the spider, God's lamb, all that dull stuff. My life then consisted of dead people, brick walls, and a few dismal trees out in the park."

Ingmar Bergman: Demonology
Demonology. There has over the years been a lot of talk about demons in connexion with Bergman. In early days it was mostly because of his great demands on actors and other personnel that he was named a "Demon director". Later on it was his own demons - his fears - that he showed on the screen and sometimes talked about.
The little drawn devil that Bergman used to "brand" documents with.

Ingmar Bergman: Playing chess with death
A church painting from late 15th century depicting a man playing chess with death. The painting which is found in Täby church in Sweden was made by a painter or rather a painting company lead by a man they called Albertus Pictor.
This was of course one of the major sources of inspiration for Bergman's world famous image of Death.
An old post, another parody.
