Ingmar Bergman 1918 - 2007
We read the terrible news this morning of the passing of yet another bright light in our world; the legendary Ingmar Bergman died yesterday at the age of 89.
Words fail. Let the rest of the press world encapsulate his life in 350 words or less, but let the blogosphere cry in anquish at this great loss. No, that's not melodramatic. Wild Strawberries was, to me, his greatest film. I first saw it in art school relatively late in my career and his carnal spirituality stood out against the background of American indie films being made at the time. This was the late 90s and I was in my 30s and professor Borg's journey is timeless.
