“Ingmar Bergman was like a scavenger of the human soul. Throughout his long career, he utilised filmmaking to dig deeper and with more precision than anyone else; and went unblinkingly ahead, feeding on his own humanity along the way, in order to bring light to quintessential themes of our existence…
He died yesterday, at the age of 89.
As someone who was first exposed to his work at an early age and then deeply influenced throughout my life and own development as a fellow filmmaker by it, I pay now my respects.
It is not emptiness that his departure leaves us with though. His oeuvre is remarkably complete and came majestically full circle with his very last film.
Behind remains a body of work punctuated with unparalleled examples of Cinema in its purest form.”
