Ingmar Bergman 1918-2007

7/30/07

Ingmar Bergman died today. A prolific and talented man, he will be remembered for not only his films but the influence he had on other directors. Real film critics will write well and at length about that. Bergman films can be very challenging, and TVOR must admit she frequently cannot rise to the challenge. There is one Bergman film she loves, however, and that is Fanny and Alexander. Loosely based on Bergman’s early life, it is beautiful and watchable and everyone should see it. So do.
