The legendary motion picture director was 89. Snip from NYT obit:
In his more than 40 years in the cinema, Mr. Bergman made about 50 films, often focusing on two themes – the relationship between the sexes, and the relationship between mankind and God. Mr. Bergman found in cinema, he wrote in a 1965 essay, “a language that literally is spoken from soul to soul in expressions that, almost sensuously, escape the restrictive control of the intellect.”Link. Wikipedia bio: Link. IMDB: Link.
Image above, Bergman working on the film "Wild Strawberries." Here's a 4:35-minute clip from that film: Video Link. Here's a DVD link.
