Another Two Cinema's Great Left

Next year's Oscar will have a bigger tribute section, with the latest demise of 2 of the great contributors to the world cinema, Michaelangelo Antonioni and Ingmar Bergman.


famous work of antonioni, Blow-Up

Antonioni is the Italian maestro whose only film I watched is a collaboration of him and two other directors, Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's series, Erin Brockovich, Traffic) and Wong Kar Wai (In The Mood of Love, Fallen Angels, Chungking Express), Eros. Antionioni is directing his piece "Il filo pericoloso delle cose" which is in obvious contrasts with the other two contributions.


Ingmar Bergman

Bergman is a serious Swedish maestro whose body of work is an impressive ones. His famous scenes was a scene where the character playing chess with the death and that was regarded as one of the great scenes in the world cinema, being a text book material for lots of film and art student. His movies are exquisitely dark and always delved into the topic of death. Emma would felt the loss of one of her nation's great son.
