This is my favourite movie, and Michelangelo Antonioni, also, is dead.

Utterly incredible! Two of the greatest film directors of all time have died on the same day, July 30, 2007. I once saw Antonioni in person at a conference on his films in New York a few years ago. He was very feeble from a stroke even then and did not really speak.

What!?

I just mentioned Antonioni in my previous comment. I had no idea he also died.

Incredible, yes.

"I didn't know he had worked with Sven Nykvist before 1961's Through a Glass Darkly."

The 1953 Sawdust and Tinsel/TheNaked Night/Gycklarnas afton contains some stunning and sometimes hallucinatory photography by Sven Nykvist.

I saw my first Bergman film (Sawdust and Tinsel which was called The Naked Night) and Seventh Seal in 1959 or 1960 in a seedy adult movie theater in New Bedford. It was the beginning of my love affair with cinema and foreign films in particular... I enjoyed your comments

Do you remember the name of the theatre? I do research on Providence-Fall River-New Bedford theatres. Do you remember if the English-dubbed versions of the Bergmans were shown or were they subtitled prints?
