Hi

Have a nice day:-)

It was Ingmar Bergman who inspired me to study Theatre Arts and Film. His unique passion, blunt rejection of taboos, and absolute honesty, were magnetic. When I was studying Theatre Arts in Munich, I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Bergman when he was directing "Yvonne, Die Prinzessin Von Burgund". His actors absorbed his suggestions like a sponge, projecting the impression that it was not a rehearsal, but a worship. Mr. Bergman was, in my view, "The God Of Cinema"; there will never be another Ingmar Bergman.

I am mourning his passing deeply. I will miss him for the rest of my life.

I offer my condolences to all of Ingmar Bergman's family, friends, and fans. This was true genius that many refused to recognize. I discovered Ingmar Bergman films when I left Pakistan as a student. The first movie I saw, Cries and Whispers", made me his fan. His sensual, stark, and intimate portrayal of characters, and of filming, and of drawing the viewer into the utmost depth of the spirits on the screen were unique. His death really effects me, since only his movies allowed me to share the pain and tragedy of the human condition, and relationships. Bergman did not believe in God, but he touched religion and spirituality to the core! When such creative genius dies, it is sad...since that marks the end of those films which will forever grasp our souls. May his soul rest in peace.
