Monty Python's "Quest for The Holy Grail" filming budget was paid for by popular bands of the day.

I don't know, as a whole it's a weird way to spoof (or pay homage to) the director of a movie they pulled so much from.

Some notes I'd pass to the Monties in the writers room:

  1. You should use a font closer to the one Bergman famously used in most of his movies, for specificity's sake. This is minor and I understand if you're were unable to do this in a crunch

  2. The Bergman credits have already been done in comedy! In almost all of Woody Allen's films he uses black and white opening credits as a direct homage to Bergman

  3. Regarding the Ø, this whole parody only makes sense if you are both familiar enough with Bergman to know what his credit sequences look like but unfamiliar enough with Bergman to not know what Swedish looks like. I'm an American, you're Europeans, you should be able to tell your neighbors apart better than I can

  4. Just use an Ö! Maybe a möose bit my sister?

  5. The whole bit makes no sense; back to the drawing board, gentlemen!!

Also it's funny the article characterizes the sequence as a 'send up' to a 'snooty foreign film' when The Seventh Seal is very nearly a comedy and not a highbrow one at that.
