"No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul." - Ingmar BergmanErnst Ingmar Bergman, born in Faro, Sweden, died today at his home in Sweden. He was 89.
The internationally beloved, admired, imitated, and owed filmmaker is nearly impossible to sum up in a few words. Watching one of his films is a conversation between you and him, completely void of the soap-boxy, preachy tone that many filmmakers fall prey to today. He speaks to you, asks you questions, begs for a response, from one human being to another.

-The Seventh Seal ('57)
-Wild Strawberries ('57)
-Through a Glass Darkly ('61)
-The Virgin Spring ('60)
