R.I.P.
Ingmar Bergman, a film deity and personal hero of mine, died today.
...It may sound strange or a bit pretentious to say about a man I never met, yet still, I feel grieved, as if I've lost a distant but dearly beloved friend.
You showed us hope in the face of despair, reminded us of our incomparable humanity in the face of the inhumane. Your legacy is a testament to everything good and noble in cinema. You were power, grace and fiercest passion.
May your oblivion bring you rest. From this world, it is inconceivable that you will ever fade quietly into night.
