What is "objective" about this selection?
I propose instead:
Wild Strawberries
Seventh Seal
The Magician
Smiles of a Summer Night
Fanny & Alexander
Note that this list includes none of his
great, late pessimistic sequence (most
with Liv Ullmann.)

The post does not suggest how being "too self-centred"
shows in the films (whether farces or deep meditations.)
