Max von Sydow (1929-2020) was a Swedish actor who featured in more than 100 films and TV series. He made many memorable film roles, but the one that touched me most was as the father in Pelle Erobreren — based on Martin Andersen Nexö’s epic masterpiece. Bille August directed. Stefan Nilsson wrote the music. Max von Sydow made the performance of his life. And it breaks my heart every time I watch it. A legend is dead. Long live his memory. [embedded content]

Why does someone have to die? Till minnet av min vän Bengt Nilsson. Det gör fortfarande — efter två år — ont. Det känns ofta — som du brukade säga — ‘förtvivlat.’ Men jag minns också — skratten, glädjen, omtanken, den mäktiga intelligensen, den drastiska humorn, det starka sociala patoset.

Who lights the stars? Thirty-one years ago. A newly wedded couple celebrating in front of the church in Jönköping where the act took place. People say time heals all wounds. I wish that was true. But some wounds never heal. Even after twenty-seven years you just have to learn to live with the scars. In memory of Kristina Syll — beloved wife and mother of David and Tora. [embedded content]
