Sad cinematic day

I was shocked to hear that one of my favourite film directors died: Ingmar Bergman.

My friend lives near him, actually met him a few times. She is in a deep state of mourning as all of us who knew and loved his work.

I had a dream of meeting him one day - thanking him for being such a huge influence on me. It was because of his film Persona that I decided to go into filmmaking.

In her email just a few minutes ago, she also mentioned that Antonioni died yesterday as well.

Another big influence/idol of mine.

what a very sad cinematic day.


There is a saying that famous people die in threes.
Let's hope it's not somebody I love...
