The marital discord in this show is a different animal than those Italian romps with Loren and Mastroianni — Ingmar Bergman’s miniseries examination of a breakup between two upstanding, thoughtful parents is a demanding, grueling exercise in self-evaluation. Try as one might, we can’t help but compare the fireworks between Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson with one’s personal experiences.

I won't feel like my Scandinavian voyage is over until I a) unpack b) do laundry c) write about it. Here are a few random movie-adjacent thoughts from my journey. Obviously movies weren't the focus but you know I can work them in to any conversation!
Hush Puppy & Me W/ Aurochs.
Copenhagen
I'll always think of aurochs as the giant pigs that haunted Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild but Copenhagen's National Museum tried to wrestle them away from neo movie mythology.
In Denmark the aurochs immigrated after the end of the Ice Age circa 9000 BC these bulls with the largest and most inner dangerous animals in the forest but they could do little against the hunters arrows. The aurochs weighed almost 1000 kg. Old scars on the ribs show that the old giants survived earlier encounters. Three arrowheads lying among the bone suggests that the bull was fatally wounded...

Hey kids. It's Nathaniel just checking in from my vacation. I hope you miss me but I'm loving this very unplugged trip -- today I lept from a dock in remote Norwegian village into the freezing cold ocean. Invigorating!
Anyway... when I arrived in Bergen Monday afternoon I was surprised to see Wenche Foss, beloved Norwegian postwar actress staring back at me on the Tarmac.
It got me to thinking about which actresses we idolize enough in America to give them this sort of treatment. Not that we do but If we did as we should? Who would it be? Besides Dame Meryl of course?...

Norwegian actress Wenche Foss has died at the age of 93.
The star passed away in a hospital in Norway on Monday after a long battle with ill health.
Foss began her career in 1935 and went on to establish herself in local theatre, film and TV productions.
She was one of Scandinavia's most prominent stars and the breast cancer survivor became a leading campaigner for a variety of causes, including raising awareness for the deadly disease.
She is survived by her son Mayor of Oslo Fabian Stang and two grandkids.
