Lost Two

The world lost two of its greatest film directors on the same day last week - Ingmar Bergman (top) and Michaelangelo Antonioni (above). For my favorite Bergman check out Wild Strawberries or The Silence. For Antonioni, check out L'Eclisse.

With these two joining Fellini and Kubrick in the afterlife (ahem) we are left with a much-diminished list of living film legends. Let's hope the current auteur-director renaissance (see e.g. Wes Anderson, P.T. Anderson, Von Trier, et al.) does not falter.
