Storyline

De Düva is a 1968 Oscar-nominated American short film that parodies the films of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, including Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal. The film borrows heavily from the plot lines of some of Bergman's most famous films. The dialogue, seemingly in Swedish, is actually a Swedish-accented fictional language based on English, German, Latin, and Swedish, with most nouns ending in "ska." The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.

"I wonder if Ingmar Bergman ever saw this? I think he might have enjoyed it’s quite flattering homage to a couple of his better known features - all set to a charming “Swenglish” dialogue that just putssk ask onsk everythingsk and is then delivered in a thick Swedish accent. Most of us would probably agree we think best on the toilet, without or without a deceased dove for inspiration, and when it comes to that moment when confronted with the ashen-faced manifestation of death itself, then why not have a game of badmintonsk in the meadow? You don’t need to be a fan of his films to appreciate the humour here, but if you are you’ll better appreciate the comparable style of photography; the totally impractical bright white flowing dresses and the tight facial close ups of characters straight out of “Wild Strawberries” (1957). Certainly worth fifteen minutes - its good fun."
