A truly great actor. I am reminded of the final scene in "Seventh Seal" where the cast 'ascends into heaven' on a rocky outcrop back lighted by stormy skies.
My favorite 'Max' scene is where the veteran Swedish soldiers eat fresh strawberries with the traveling actors. The actress in that scene later plays Max's daughter in the pensive "The Virgin Spring". Another favorite scene involves elderly Max employing an educated German accent to explain the nature of violence to Leo DiCaprio in "Shutter Island". Many fans will remember his calming influence facing his age-old nemesis as heroic Father Marin in "The Exorcist".
