Ingmar Bergman. RIP. 1918-2007


Ingmar Bergman
07.14.18- 07.30.07

We lost another genius yesterday. For those of you not familiar with his work, I highly suggest queueing up your Nexflix with some Bergman stock. My first Bergman experience was watching The Seventh Seal in 1991 in complete darkness in a friends living room. Despite the overtly tragic subject matter, I felt a deep and joyous connection with the film, it's characters and the director's sense of inevitable circumstance. It was the beginning of a long relationship...

Other classics to check out:
Hour of the Wolf
Wild Strawberries
Winter Light
Through a Glass Darkly

...and so many more.
