Cinema and Sorrow

Ingmar Bergman is one of the handful of directors who made me believe in film. All of his pictures reveal a remarkable marriage of beauty and trauma, that combination of seeing and feeling that makes you say "ah, this is what a movie camera was made for." His career is a remarkable testimony to the power of art when one takes it seriously.

Thus, it saddens me to learn that Bergman has died.
