Ingmar Bergman was a true genius

@tokeburns I agree Woody.

@MorphiiH what r u talking about? Bergman won three Oscars for Best Foreign Film. One for The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly, and Fanny and Alexander. Do some research before you drop "facts."

@miguelucho20008

Ingmar Bergman was nominated for an Oscar 9 times and didn't win any of them. He won a whole lot of other prizes, but not an Oscar.

@tokeburns not the only

[tsartodd]

Ingmar Bergman not only made great films, he also a piece of that fine Norwegian ass Liv Ullman.

Ullmann was so beautiful & talented. She should have won an oscar for her performance in Face to Face (1976).

Was that script for his masterpiece "Cries and Whispers"? I'm glad that he wasn't "interrupted"... Bergman was a true artist and genius.

Actually, I may also add Dreyer and Eisenstein to that list.

[scottmackeen]

Bergman was without equal as a film artist. In terms of cinema art, he was Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Mozart and Aristotle all rolled into one. He was a poet, playwright, novelist, philosopher. I can think of only Renoir, Kurosawa, and Tarkovsky as reaching close to Bergman's level as pure artists in the movies.

[LohengrinT]

Indeed a true Genius with the deepest and truest ability to see inside the human Soul since Euripides
