I was planning on writing this post about some of my favorite work by Ullmann, when Mary-Laure left me a comment yesterday asking me about my favorite work by Ullmann. This is for you.....:-)

Ullmann is most famous for the 8 films she made together with Bergman. My favorite, as well as her own, I've been told, is "Scenes from a marriage" (1973).

But she's directed a lot of wonderful movies as well. "Trolösa"(2000) is written by Bergman and directed by Ullmann. Lena Endre has the lead in this exquisite movie. English tittle "Faithless".

I also love this book written by her daughter:

Liv Ullmann (2)

I found this in my library yesterday. I had forgotten all about this little treasure. It was published in 1976. It's called "The change".
I will try to translate what is says on the back cover.

"To Linn

Your skinny, little body is the closest I’ll ever get to life it self.

You who are like life when I touch you and you get heavy and warm when you lean up against me. When you pat my chick and say "little mummy", and understand more then I know. When you tell me not to be sad, because you are with me. When you make may life richer
just by being you.

A connection without words or touch.”

the island

We brought my husbands cousin ( the one visiting from NY) home with us. He was kidnapped actually. We gave him no choice. And today we made him cook dinner for us:-) We spent the last couple of days talking and catching up (they haven't seen each other in ten years). It's been so nice. Here's some pictures from the island today when my husband took him for a little roundtrip. I hope you enjoy it.
