As towering of a figure in cinema as Bergman is, although I don't know how much of a movie nerd Zulawski is, I wouldn't be surprised if they were intentional nods.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459356722964144865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821631260908917155.post-11927421777224583162011-03-22T01:34:42.655+08:002011-03-22T01:34:42.655+08:00Thanks, mAQ! :)Thanks, mAQ! :)That Film Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525992441514322658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821631260908917155.post-69851596700323491682011-03-22T00:23:08.739+08:002011-03-22T00:23:08.739+08:00Excellent comparison.
