The world's greatest actor, Max von Sydow, dies at 90


Recommended Posts

So sad, even though he reached an impressive 90 years old. I basically thought he would live forever.

 

Von Sydow was THE major actor in the Nordic countries for many decades, and although he has an incredibly rich catalogue to choose from, both here at home and in Hollywood, for me his best performance will always be as the ageing father in Bille August's masterpiece PELLE EROBREREN (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) from 1987, one of my favourite Nordic films from the 80s.

I still remember the shock of seeing the 70-year-old man from The Exorcist in The Force Awakens, 42 years later.

Yeah, he was 'old' in appearance for the last 50 years of his life! What a stamina.

Indeed.
