Description
Summary:	While periodicals aiming to boost circulation have gone so far as to make fatuous cover headline claims that he is the world's greatest film actor, there is no denying that von Sydow has had little competition for 60 years in traveling from one national motion picture industry to another in order to embody warm, stern, mystical, cuddly, frightening, regal or cold-blooded characters. A quality standard was set by Citizen X (1995) in which von Sydow was an officially non-existent psychiatrist who helped a Soviet policeman (Stephen Rea) get a confession out of a serial killer who murdered more than a hundred people while Moscow, for political reasons, refused to admit that such a madman was on the loose.
