Life is short my love ones smell the red roses for they are as life a fleeting glimpse of
beautiful moments.
With times of laughter & tears all to gain so much in the here after of life.

Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
--Ingmar Bergman
Bergman, in my opinion, is the smartest filmmaker to ever live.

Bergman, don't you worry a single bit. We'll be absorbing your glorious pictures for many, many moons to come, over and over again.

Bergman's place as one of the world's greatest filmmakers, and one of the 20th Century's greatest artists, is firmly established. A sad loss.

I too found out about this and feel extremely sad about this. It's incredible how someone that you never knew can touch you with his art so you feel like that when you find out that he's passed away. One of the most intelligent artists that ever lived for sure.
Hopefully, his movies will be a reminder of his genius for this and all generations to come.

Sad to hear of his passing, he was a great director.
Then again, he was 89 and had retired four years ago, his productive life as a director was over - nobody is going to say "he died too soon, he had so much more to offer". But still, sad to hear that he passed away.

It's kind of sickening how little mention was made of this anywhere - I plan to honor him with a Bergman-thon this weekend: Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal (of course), and Scenes from a Marriage, my personal favorite. RIP

R.I.P Ingmar.
I didn't find out about this until today when a coworker just told me in the hall. Maybe I'll honor him by watching some of his stuff this week. Bummer.

Been making my way through his catalog over the last 4 years or so and have pretty much everything I've seen. Recently, Wild Strawberries entranced me. It is such a beautiful lyrical film. Contrast that with Autumn Sonata which has some amazing moments of sound and fury. RIP and thanks.

Wow i just got done watching Fanny and Alexander and I thought it was great.
I watched the Theatrical version and the 3 hours just flew by.
I've had the 5-disk criterion since Nov. 2004 but never got around to watching it until now but am very glad i ended up checking it out.
Also has anyone seen Shame or The Serpents Egg? I put those on my netflix queue and am wanting to see more Bergman films now.
I have only seen The Seventh Seal and now Fanny and Alexander and am curious as to what some of his other great films are. I also own Saraband but i havnt seen Scenes from a marriage yet so i prob. shouldnt watch that yet I guess.

^Shame is good, but my faves are Persona, Face to Face, and Autumn Sonata.
