Well, the day has not started off well.

I just learned that one of the world's last truly innovative filmmakers and artists has died:

Ingmar Bergman

His work has informed my own art (and so many other artists), for years. What a major, major loss in the world of film, writing and stage drama.

Today will definitely be a sad one for me.

I’m ashamed to say that I was not/am not familiar Ingmar Bergman or his work…but after reading a bit more about him, I probably should be. ‘The Seventh Seal’ is now at the top of my ‘movies I’ve got to see’ list…and if its as good as they say, there will be more to follow. He certainly had an extraordinary career.

The Seventh Seal is fantastic. Other favorites: Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, The Magician...so many wonderful works.
