rssIngmar Bergman 1918 - 2007
Ingmar Bergman died July 30, 2007.
Yesterday I learned of Bergman's death.
This morning I awoke from a dream of a funeral, a funeral where there were no people. There was a great crypt, with a stone rolled away from the mouth, and inside many aisles, and a special aisle for the Brotherhood.
He is a part of that Brotherhood of artists who have touched me, somehow changed what I value, how I see myself, the world outside and how I live. Each of us will have a group of our own, the artists who have spoken to us in a special way.
His film 'Seventh Seal' made a very great impression on me when I was young. The image of Death leading the dancers, the jester and his visions, had a strong emotional impact, seemed to speak to me personally and gave me a message about life and death.
