Russ Report post Posted July 18, 2005 I know! Diane, considering your willingness to engage Bergman's Scandinavian ponderings, I'd bet that Dreyer would leave footprints all over your Top Ten. It's like a lot of those same conflicts between the personal and spiritual realms writ large, but with something you can grab onto tightly.
