Ingmar Bergman is dead today and if that isn't a loss to international filmmaking as a whole I don't know what is. There are giants among directors and he was among the biggest churning out these wonderful films about life and death. Persona is my favorite work of his but he had so many truly wonderful intelligent works of film art that it's hard to single out just one.
I don't want to write some long winded article on how great the man and his works were(after all you as a film lover should know that right now.) All I wanted to say is that like Kurosawa before him he was a director who shaped how the very ideas of fimmaking should work.
Plus it's kinda cool that whenever somebody thinks of Death the first image that usually get's brought up is Bergman's. And that's gotta count for something.
