Ingmar Bergman, RIP
You must've already seen this item, if you watch/listen to any news at all. Ingmar Bergman has passed away, age 89. He led a much fuller life than most and he will be missed. It's impossible to make sense of Bergman's films in a couple sentences — so I won't try. Suffice to say they engaged the mind irresistibly. And one of the first DVDs I ever got was his The Seventh Seal. If you haven't seen that one, you owe it to yourself to have a look.

I never understand why I loved his films despite not having enjoyed them in the traditional American movie sense. Much later, I learned they were examples of European formalism, a genre that continues to engage me, subtitles and all.
