Considered one of Bergman’s most influential and emotional films, it explores the disillusionment of an elderly physician, Professor Isak Borg, as he reflects upon his life and begins to perceive his mortality. As he travels to Lund to receive an honorary award after 50 years of medical practice, he finds himself repeatedly affected by intrusive dreams and hallucinations that expose his darkest fears. He slowly comes to realize that the choices he made in the past have created a cold and empty life, devoid of real meaning or value. Finally, he achieves redemption and reintegration through forgiveness and the love of his family. -imdb.com. (1957, 90 min. Swedish with English subtitles)

Dali & Beyond Film Series- Spike Jonze's: Being John Malkovich Thursday, Jul 19, 6:00 pm
“The best film of 1999.” – Roger Ebert. This is the remarkable directorial debut from the acclaimed music video director (Beastie Boys, Fat Boy Slim’s “Praise You,” REM) and Three Kings photographer/co-star. Jonze’s feature debut is an audaciously original black comedy/fantasy starring John Cusack and Cameron Diaz. The story concerns an iconoclastic street puppeteer (Cusack) who discovers a “portal” into the mind of actor John Malkovich (!), and decides to exploit its possibilities for a little cash. This far-out head trip by writer Charlie Kaufman is ingeniously developed into a full-blown story and acted with pizzazz. Malkovich is outstanding in a sly, nuanced performance. (USA, 1999, 113 min., DVD; rated R)
