Persona (1966) Dir: Ingmar Bergman | DP: Sven Nykvist Sight & Sound Top 10. Cinema's most famous face. The technique: Nykvist lit Ullmann and Andersson identically. Same key light. Same fill. Same shadows. The merge shot combines half of each face into one composite image. Which half is which? You genuinely cannot tell. Identity collapses. Nykvist shot almost entirely in extreme close-up. Faces fill the frame. Pores visible. Eyes huge. No comfortable distance. The film even 'burns' partway throu

Film Snob: Cinematographer Sven Nykvist, the Master of Light

Vanity FairCondé Nast
Persona (1966) | Directed by Ingmar Bergman | Shot by Sven Nykvist | Starring Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann Bergman wrote the screenplay while hospitalized for pneumonia—he called it his 'creative virus.' Nykvist's lighting creates the famous merged-face shot without optical effects, using precise makeup and positioning. The film opens with a projector starting, a crucifixion, and a child reaching toward a blurred face—Bergman's stream of consciousness made visual. Budget was modest even for 1966.

Ingmar Bergman’s “The Virgin Spring” (1960) Bergman’s collaboration with cinematographer Sven Nykvist in “The Virgin Spring” is pivotal in creating the film’s haunting aesthetic.

The Film Essential on Instagram: "This movie is considered a pictorial radical film. Both Ingmar Bergman and his cinematographer Sven Nykvist felt that mid-shots were boring; therefore, the film consists of a few wide shots, occasional mid- shots, and many, long and intense closeups."

Den här låten har följt honom genom livet ända sen han hittade den på en 78-varvs stenkaka i en byrålåda hemma hos sin mormor. Låten spelades in 1945 av Falu-sonen Yngve Stoor och blev en enorm succe i Sverige. Hela landet drabbades av en Hawaii-feber som var så stor att till och med AB Albin Hagström som normalt by
