Scandinavian Directors

Don't overlook films from Scandanavia. Lars von Trier won the Palme D'or at Cannes for the musical "Dancing in the Dark." Plus legendary director Ingmar Bergman, and Lasse Hallstrom who achieved critical and popular success in the US for "Cider House Rules."
Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman's official site is a thorough resource on the Swedish master: deep info on his films, his stage productions, his writing, a timeline, and "Ingmar Bergman's Universe."

Lasse Hallstrom
