Guillermo del Toro has been unusually quiet on social media during his quarantine, but that all has changed with the publication of a giant Twitter thread revealing the many books he’s been reading and films he’s been watching while on break from filming his new movie, “Nightmare Alley.” The “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Shape of Water” Oscar winner encouraged his fellow filmmakers to weigh in with their own watch lists, and the result is an incredible thread featuring the likes of Darren Aronofsky, Ari Aster, Ava DuVernay, Sarah Polley, Edgar Wright, Rian Johnson, Brad Bird, Scott Derickson, James Mangold, and a lot more. Click here to begin the Twitter thread.
It should not be too surprising to hear del Toro has been streaming a lot of titles on The Criterion Channel, including Gustaf Molander’s “A Woman’s Face,” Ermanno Olmi’s “Il Posto,” and Celine Sciamma’s “Girlhood” and “Tomboy.

No, the movie star Ingrid Bergman was never a starlet with a seven-year contract, and her stellar career didn’t begin opposite Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. It all happened in Sweden, where she turned herself into a screen sensation in just a couple of years. Eclipse’s six-disc set shows the immediate success of the daring Bergman, but also her acting range — her sterling qualities seem fully formed even in her first features.

The title of MoMA's series running through September 18, "Hasse Ekman: The Other Swede in the Room," refers, of course, to the fact that the #1 Swede in cinema is Ingmar Bergman. Who, by the way, called Ekman's Girl With Hyacinths (1950), "an absolute masterpiece." Ekman was the son of Gösta Ekman, star of F.W. Murnau's Faust (1927), and the two appeared together with Ingrid Bergman in Gustaf Molander's Intermezzo (1936). For all that, Hasse Ekman's career as a writer, director and producer has been unduly overlooked. Until now. We're gathering appreciations. » - David Hudson...

Ingrid Bergman and Olaf Widgren get scandalous in June Night.
The Swedish movies were all made only a few years prior to Ingrid Bergman’s (Casablanca) arrival in Hollywood in 1939 at the behest of producer David Selznick.

Here’s some info on Ingrid Bergman in Sweden’s three films:
Intermezzo (Gustaf Molander, 1936) – An aspiring classical pianist (Bergman) falls in love with a famed — but married — concert violinist.
