Living Images

Language is like memory. If it is not used, it slowly fades. Stockholm is not like Zagreb, but it is like any capital city. I was there when it happened, without having time to say 'thank you' for everything. The book is excellent, each chapter is like Andersson's tableau – a separate whole in which over time you notice the thoughtful layers of tragicomic human life.

The Dove

De Düva is a 1968 Oscar-nominated American short film that parodies the films of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, including Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal. The film borrows heavily from the plot lines of some of Bergman's most famous films. The dialogue, seemingly in Swedish, is actually a Swedish-accented fictional language based on English, German, Latin, and Swedish, with most nouns ending in "ska." The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
