Good Batch of Bergman Tributes

| | Comments (0) |

Here's the best batch of tributes to the just-departed Ingmar Bergman that I've come across on the Web today. I think I like this bunch because none of them make lame, obvious references to "The Seventh Seal."
Then again, none are quite daring enough to say that he was the greatest filmmaker of all time - which, the more I've been thinking about what Bergman accomplished, the more I suspect is the case. Woody Allen comes closest, and of course made the sweetest joke; he should know.
More in a few days when I've really had time to consider whether the incisive Swede, whose poorer films could admittedly bore me to tears, did more in the medium more than such all-time favorites of mine as Yasujiro Ozu, Luis Bunuel and Stanley Kubrick.
