Ingmar Bergman Remembered
There was a beautiful obituary in the NY Times today for Ingmar Bergman. Here is one of several fantastic quotes taken from a 1995 NYT interview as Bergman recalls his childhood memories:
"I also remember being forced to sit in church, listening to a very boring sermon, but it was a very beautiful church, and I loved the music and the light streaming through the windows. I used to sit up in the loft beside the organ, and when there were funerals, I had this marvelous long-shot view of the proceedings, with the coffin and the black drapes, and then later at the graveyard, watching the coffin lowered into the ground. I was never frightened by these sights. I was fascinated."
