In The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), he plays the frail-yet still performatively macho-elderly father of a man who has been rendered almost completely paralyzed by a stroke (Mathieu Amalric). He was a bold, magnificent actor, even in his later years, and yet within that context his subtlety was extraordinary. Von Sydow was nominated twice for an Academy Award, first for his lead role in Pelle the Conquerer (1987), and later for his supporting performance in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011). Von Sydow was, like Laurence Olivier, a great physical actor you always got a sense of the soul within the body. But even this character, a man built for conquering, rises to his duty as a human being. His stride is mighty, like the trees of the forest mysteriously come to life. His virility is all there in his very being: It’s as if the spirit of masculine confidence has been poured into the contours of his face. In The Seventh Seal, von Sydow’s Antonius Block-a knight returning from the Crusades to find his country decimated by plague-is a strapping specimen of manhood coming face-to-face, literally, with his mortality. In a world of reductive thinking and knee-jerk responses, a von Sydow performance always demands that you slow down and see. And most important of all, his work-in Bergman’s films in particular-is a reminder of the way actors, at their best, can drive home the complexity of the human spirit. Beginning with the movies he made with Ingmar Bergman-their first was the stark allegorical chiller The Seventh Seal, in 1957-he showed a range and depth that few other actors of his generation achieved. There are actors who won’t take a part they feel is beneath them von Sydow took roles that might have looked puny on the page and he elevated them to his standards.
If you’ve seen any of those ostensibly “lesser” performances by Von Sydow, who died on March 8 at age 90, you’ve still seen greatness in action. ^ "Max von Sydow bortklippt: "Sorgligt" ".In 2002, Ben-Barka wrote and directed Les amants de Mogador ( The Lovers of Mogador), starring Max von Sydow. ^ Dixon, Wheeler Winston Foster, Gwendolyn Audrey ().the ghost of Vigo, voiced by Max von Sydow The Laughing Dead: The Horror-Comedy Film from Bride of Frankenstein to Zombieland. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay az ba bb bc bd be bf bg bh bi bj bk bl bm bn bo bp bq br bs bt bu bv bw bx by bz ca cb cc cd ce cf cg ch ci cj ck cl cm cn co cp cq cr cs ct cu cv cw cx cy cz da db dc dd de df dg dh di dj dk dl dm dn do "Max von Sydow".^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay az ba bb bc bd be bf bg bh bi bj bk bl bm bn bo bp bq br bs bt bu bv bw bx by bz ca cb cc cd ce cf cg ch ci cj ck "Max von Sydow".^ Philip French, Screen Legends, The Observer, 10 February 2008.Hidden Children – Escape of the Innocents Professor Filipp Filippovich PreobrazenskiĮchoes of the Past (Greek Title: Kalavryta 1943)
