My first was "Cries and Whispers," which was just too overwhelming. "Fanny and Alexander" is my favorite. I went back to "Cries and Whispers" later and had a better understanding of what was going on. <BR/><BR/>You can't go wrong with Antonioni's "Blow-Up." <BR/><BR/>I would like to know what you recommend with Kurosawa.

That film knocked me over. But it's not the best place to begin with Bergman's world.<BR/><BR/>Wild Strawberries is one I would want to add to the list - after Persona. Also, add Smiles of a Summer Night after Fanny & Alexander.
