Stimulantia

Have only seen Bergman's segment, "Daniel", a nice little home movie compilation, showing footage from before the birth of his son (who would grow up to direct SUNDAY'S CHILDREN, written by his father), and up until he is two years old. At the end, Bergman reads a little part from a screenplay he never filmed, but it's just a fairly standard expression of positive sentiments and a rejection of oppression, especially of the religious variety.

Bergman's segment "Daniel" is basically just home movies of his infant son. The most interesting part is when he reads part of an unused script over it, but otherwise it feels like a throwaway effort. As do most of the other sequences. Gustar Molander's "The Necklace" is the standout. The ironic ending is incredibly predictable, and it's hard to see what the story has to do with the overarching theme, but the performances are solid, and it looks like Molander at least put a little work into it.

Em honra de Jörn Donner (1933 - 2020). Como toda antologia, os curtas aqui tem resultados díspares em qualidade, mas gostaria de destacar o do Donner, o do Molander e do Sjöman. No Youtube.
