	Being John Malkovich: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		He drowns his sense of emptiness by bringing to life his wooden marionettes and, through them, his secret longings.
		In this new awkward world, his boss, Dr. Lester (Orson Bean) is 105 years old and obsessed with sex; the secretary has a speech impediment and does not know it, and his co-worker, Maxine (Catherine Keener) enjoys seducing Craig only to be entertained by his vulnerability.
		Following this comical twist from a rather dramatic opening (that introduces the magical wood marionettes of Phil Huber, designed after the film's characters), the story ensures an ingenious evolution: after removing a heavy file cabinet to retrieve a lost document, Craig discovers a secret portal.

		Comment: From the life of the Marionettes is not known as one of Ingmar Bergman's best film.
		Bergman is quoted on the back of the box as stating that 'I am rather proud of From the Life of the Marionettes' and it's not hard to see why.
		Made in Munich while Bergman was in self-imposed exile from Sweden, From the Life of the Marionettes is not so much a "whodunit" as a "whydunnit".

	Civilization.ca - Oracle - The Art of Puppetry
		As for marionettes, these are, among all types of puppets, the ones best able to imitate humans, because they have both arms and legs.
		In Europe, towards the end of the seventeenth century, permanent theatres were built, in which marionettes performed pieces taken from the world of live theatre, opera and ballet.
		Today, marionettes are used somewhat less often than before, although many marionette theatre companies still exist, and many puppeteers continue to use marionettes to create their shows.

		Perhaps the most shocking and provocative of all Bergman's dramas, From the Life of the Marionettes focuses on a successful but troubled couple who appear briefly in Scenes from a Marriage.
		The theme is an examination of anxiety, ennui, respression, and, of course, that ever-pervading theme of marital relationship, and the passing of dream and reality.
		Life, death and madness are a part of most of Bergman's work.

	.c( whytheluckystiff )o. -- Incident No. 27: The Life Guy
		At the coaxing of one of his roommates, who was pretty convinced that the Life Guy’s eating habits were a manifestation of deeper issues (the Life Guy lacked a solid father figure) and that perhaps the lamp devourings were shredding the esophagus, the Life Guy went in for a colonoscopy.
		Anyway, the gastroenterologist had kind of a crazy idea and, considering that such an opportunity was unlikely to present itself again, he went ahead and transplanted a dollhouse art museum in the very center of the universal innards.
		When Life Guy woke up the next morning, every passageway was clogged, he tried popping a few Sudafed but suffocation couldn’t wait for its moment.

		The story begins in colors with the violent murder of a prostitute followed by necrophilism by Peter Egermann (Robert Atzorn).
		Through the investigation, in fl and white, the investigator interviews Peter's wife, the beautiful designer Katarina Egermann (Christine Buchegger), his doctor, his mother and some friends, and realizes that Peter is an unsecured man, who has never controlled his own life.
		I am a fan of Ingmar Bergman, the interpretations and direction are excellent, as usual, but I did not like this complex story.

	Daniel Stiles: Ivory Carving in Myanmar
		The first was that ivory was produced in two remote tribal areas in Kachin State in the north, and the second was the description of an implement like a small paper-knife used by the nobility to squeeze on ceremonial headdresses and tuck away hair.
		It is most likely that U Saya Ohn and the U Hmyin and U Oh brothers began life as woodcarvers, then received commissions to carve certain objects in ivory from the court and from Buddhist pagoda monks.
		The Kwan Yins and Long Lifes can be quite large, up to 60-70 cm, and the larger Laughing Buddhas can only be made on the largest of tusks because of their girth.

	Sven Nykvist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Harvard Film Archive's Nykvist celebration takes another tack, making room for three anomalous Bergman works, including two of the director's least-liked films, The Touch (1970; May 20 at 9:30 p.m.) and From the Life of the Marionettes (1980; May 24 at 9 p.m.).
		But The Touch has a superb performance by Andersson (who will be present at Harvard's rare screening of the film) and a brisk, crisp style new in Bergman's work, aided, of course, by Nykvist's delicate lighting.
		From the Life of the Marionettes, an inquiry into how the breakdown of a bourgeois marriage leads the husband to murder a prostitute, is a hermetic, emotionally cold film that would be claustrophobic without Nykvist's expansive textures.

		Filmed in Germany, during Bergman's tax-related exile with a predominantly German cast and crew, From the Life of the Marionettes continues the story of Katarina and Peter Egermann, the feuding, childless, professional couple who appear in Scenes From A Marriage.
		This is an unusually raw and explicit drama in which all the scenes are shot in fl and white except the opening sequence and the epilogue.
		An intense and experimental film, whose complex structure allows us to explore the mind of a man driven to extremes, From the Life of the Marionettes is one of Bergman's most daring works.

	From the Life of the Marionettes - Rotten Tomatoes
		Filmed in Germany during the director’s exile from Sweden after being charged with tax evasion, FROM THE LIFE OF THE MARIONETTES is an unusually raw and explicit Ingmar Bergman drama, featuring two supporting characters from SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE.
		From the Life of the Marionettes zeroes in on one troubled marriage and the ambiguities of human sexuality.
		The title signifies that the husband is just another puppet in the scheme of things, unable to properly respond to sensual and emotional arousal that varies from the routine structure.
