If only for the performance by the sublime Madeline Kahn as the incestuous sister Sigrid, this short gem should be required viewing. I would love to see it again, but it seems to be completely unavailable. In 15 minutes, Coe sends up every Bergman mannerism in Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal, Smiles of a Summer Night and others. Spoken in a hilarious mock-Swedish, with sly English subtitles. this picture is truly one of a kind. Who can forget Kahn, puffing on a huge cigar, offering it to her brother with the words: "Fol-lee-ken seem-bowl?" (Subtitle: "Would you like a puff?") Everything about this picture is original and wackily hilarious. If only it were not so hard to see.
