Last week, I completed a major cinematic hurdle that I brought on myself. I bought it, I vowed to go through it in a reasonable amount of time and then I didn't. There's nothing like a pandemic to motivate me to get on with it. I completed watching the Criterion box set of the films of Ingmar Bergman. Thirty Blu-Rays of 39 films and a slew of extras. I bought it over a year and a half ago. I wanted to watch it at my leisure, apparently. I would try to reward myself with watching a Bergman film on the weekends once I was finished reviewing new films and new releases on home video (or binge watching someone's work if they died that week) for my show Film Soceyology. Sometimes, life, work and family got in between Ingmar and myself. "Are you watching a Bergman film?" was asked in the Socey household more than once.
