Aye, Bergman was the greatest contrarian in cinema
too bad I like his films too much to care.

Bergman films are definitely an acquired taste. I never really got into them. I think Bergman did that one where the knight played chess with the devil - I liked that one but all the others were frustratingly subtle (even though I love Max Von Sidow and it was great to see him young in those old films).
I would expect to Bergman, Wells is far too big-screen Hollywood - sort of like what Wells would probably say about Michael Bay movies today.
What hump?

Dont know. After all, it doesn't seem like there were too many directors/films Bergman DID like.

His points are rather vague, still can't say I agree with them on any level.

Harsh but not entirely inaccurate.

Let's return the favor. Orson Welles on Ingmar Bergman:
I don't condemn that very northern, very Protestant world of artists like Bergman; it's just not where I live. The Sweden I like to visit is a lot of fun. But Bergman's Sweden always reminds me of something Henry James said about Ibsen's Norway - that it was full of the odor of spiritual paraffin. How I sympathize with that! I share neither Bergmans interests nor his obsessions. He's far more foreign to me than the Japanese.
