July 30, 2007 Comments
One of cinema's most legendary and innovative directors, Ingmar Bergman, died peacefully today at 89, leading many witty film intellects to observe that he finally lost his chess game with death. Nominated for nine Oscars between 1960 and 1984, he stood as one of Sweden's most famous and valued figures alongside Björn Borg, Ikea, and their small gummy fish. Sadly, with his death he takes along the possibility of his long-rumored sequel to an '80s summer camp hit, Swedish Meatballs.
