Spoof Bergman?

I didn't read any introduction beforehand, but when the protagonist in the film was inadvertently attracted to "The 7th Seal" on TV and flipped through Bergman's autobiography in the bookstore, I knew there was a good show to watch. Sure enough, he was no longer satisfied with just shooting ordinary small movies, but started script writing. Then he found a producer and started working on his own film. This is the story of a widow who encounters someone exactly like her dead husband at a resort hotel. Obviously the object he wants to pay tribute/parody/parody the most is "The 7th Seal".
Because he wrote this Torremolinos 73 (the title of the film in the play is the same as the title of the film), the actor in the film wears a black cloak that looks like death; he plays chess on the yacht with the heroine Carmen; Carmen Dreaming that she was walking slowly in a sunny amusement park, the sun was as sharp as a dagger, and unexpectedly she saw a coffin, and the coffin board quickly slipped to reveal herself dressed in a wedding dress ("Wild Strawberry"); In the swimming pool scene ("Summer Episode"?) when filming the chase scene at the beach, the distant view saw the black silhouettes of 7 people on the beach, just like "The 7th Seal" danced with death at the end, the "Seventh Seal" in the hands of the recording engineer The radio stick" is the scythe of death. Haha, I said, this idea is really wonderful.
There are actually very few pornographic parts in this film. Most of it is used to tell the birth of a director and the happy life he has achieved. The main line of the film is actually very mediocre: the husband who sells encyclopedias has declining sales, faces unemployment, and his wife wants The children couldn't afford it, so the two finally chose to provide selfie videos to a sex education film company in exchange for money. It can be considered that the theme tells about the life crisis that everyone will face and touches our pain points, but the director obviously does not want to be so deep, he uses fast-paced editing, happy and noisy soundtrack and various coincidences in the plot to easily deal with the past. , not so into the thinking in Bergman's film. The director said that the original idea for the film came from an excursion when he was 18 years old. They were planning to go to MALAGA, and on the way they met a man who made a living shooting weddings/home videos etc. He told the director about his experience and gave him a business card. Fifteen years later, the director found this business card in a deep drawer, and began to have the idea of ​​making this film.
