A tribute to Ingmar Bergman


Today, one of the greatest directors of all times, Ingmar Bergman passed away. Today is the day to watch Persona, Wild Strawberries or his jubile movie Saraband, one more time and cherish his amazing talent.

His scripts are so powerful. His movies are so dense with emotion. His innocent meloncholy in his movies makes you see life in a different light. His characters, whether they are the lead role or appear for 5 seconds, demand a presence and develop a persona. And the cinematography in his movies are as minimal and impactful as a haiku.

New York Times today describes him as a "poet with a camera." Such a sad sad loss...
