Every photographer could watch Alfonso Cuaron´s Roma,

Have the screener and need to watch it but I also recommend "The Favourite " for some spectacular cinematography. Interesting use of UWA's and it was shot oin film with a lot of natural light, ala Barry Lyndon.
 
Sure... but Bergman writes complex scenes of dialogue and acting. His scriptwritting is dense. Persona is very visual but acting carries the story. Those close on Persona are everything. Roma is about visual memory. No actor has even a close up during the scenes.

Hah, we are different and that is Fine
I stopped watching Bergman films for Plot years ago
(The intensity of the plot could push you to slit a wrist)
I watch Bergman films for Sven’s cinematography ...
The Lighting, the shadows the way he draws a scene, a room, a character, is magnificent
 
Gunnar Fischer's work on Bergmann's early movies is definetely Nykvist's equal. (7th Seal, Wild Strawberries. etc...) Though I absolutely love Nykvist's work on Vargtimmen (Hour of the Wolf). There is Dialogue in Bergmann movies but most of them work with the sound turned off. I do that quiet often turn iff the sound and just watch the movie not only Bergmann.
 
Orson Welles did it in Citizen Kane... it was shot for maximum depth of field.
The movie hit me as part Fellini, part Welles.

It gave me the very same impression. Early Fellini + Welles. There was consistent use of wide angle lenses and deep focusing for layered planes of action. It reminded me also of Diego Rivera's gigantic murals. Great, great movie.
