Bergmans films have captured the attention of many people around the world. He was considered to be a contributor to art house cinema and his films are said to capture the inner world of the psyche and achieve. Bergman has become the hallmark for the existential/philosophical relationship drama (although he too has made other kinds of films). The picture above is from his film The Seventh Seal and it captures the essence and artistic quality of some of his films.
When Bergman passed away many people around the world mourned the death of a great artist:
New York Times
Mervey Rothstein (30/7):
"For many filmgoers and critics, it was Mr. Bergman more than any other director who brought a new seriousness to filmmaking in the 1950s.
[...]
Bergman was the first to bring metaphysics - religion, death, existentialism - to the screen, Bertrand Tavernier, the French film director, said. But the best of Bergman is the way he speaks of women, of the relationship between men and women. He's like a miner digging in search of purity."
