Vila i ro , Mästare....

Ingmar Bergman, Famed Swedish Film Director, Dies at 89

I only saw four of Bergman's films during their American first-run engagements - Cries and Whispers, Scenes from a Marriage, The Serpent's Egg, and Autumn Sonata. Each seemed inexorable, pitiless. Brilliant... His is an almost insurmountable oeuvre.
