Make sure you listen to the soundtrack, and don't just read the subtitles. Half the fun is the language. Also, look for a very young Madeline Kahn in her first film role. Her "Swedish" word for cigar is a favorite of mine. Listen closely.

De Duva
If you have 14 minutes to spare, check out the attached video. It's a parody of the films of Ingmar Bergman, the great Swedish film maker. I first saw this short at a film festival at ASU. I and my friends didn't realize at first that this wasn't an actual Bergman film. Most of the scenes in the spoof refer to images or themes in Bergman films.

Knowing very little about Bergman (tragic for a good Scandinavian boy), I wasn't sure I'd last for 13:58, but this was fantastic. You're right about the language! Who knew Swedish was an English cognate! The Madeline Kaha line was great, but I think I liked the Cow's line best.
I'm feel better now.
