Ingmar Bergman is dead. You Americans...
..familiar with one of the greatest film directors of all time ? He has had an influence on everything made for the screen in Sweden for the last half century. His productions has a typical darkness and depression that I believe catch the Swedish general spirit very well, albeit perhaps slightly exaggerated. The cold, dark North inhabited by people that stick to themselves, live a boring neurotic life and only speak when it is absolutely necessary. Tragedy and boredom in a fish bowl.
Edit: Sorry Nostatic. Did not see your eminent post on the subject.

I've heard he is great and have seen maybe a movie or two by chance. (I think I was forced to watch one in college in an art class). Wasn't there one were a girl ate unraised bread and then died? That being said, I have never felt the urge to go out and watch any of them like I would a Stanley Kubrick film. Bergmen needed to make a "buddy" film! He didn't use color and there wasn't enough action sequences that us Americans love so dearly!

I'm just shocked that he was still alive. I thought that he died a long time ago.
He was great, if a bit of a downer. Sort of like a human barbiturate.
