Ingmar Bergman Dies at 89

Ingmar Bergman, the “poet with the camera” who is considered one of the greatest directors in motion picture history, died today on the small island of Faro where he lived on the Baltic coast of Sweden, Astrid Soderbergh Widding, president of The Ingmar Bergman Foundation, said. Bergman was 89.

Well, there goes one of my favorite directors. (Via Daring Fireball.)

First Kurt Vonnegut, now Bergman… will there be any humanists left by the end of the summer?

Exactly…no blood or swearing or anything…

Apparently you’ve never seen Persona, Cries and Whispers or Shame.
