Michelangelo Antonioni (1912 - 2007)
Ingmar Bergman (1918 - 2007)
I remember picking up Bergman's The Seventh Seal from the public library, but couldn't make it past the first sequence. I also vaguely remember watching Autumn Sonata without finishing it. I made considerable progress two weeks ago when I borrowed his Saraband from the library, but only half-way through. The only Bergman film I watched in whole is Persona.
The only Antonioni film I saw was The Passenger, which was re-released last fall in New York.
These films are not conventional but not pretentious either. They lay bare the difficulties in being humans and being in relationships with each other.
The masters are leaving one after another. Who will take their place?

私は見たことがないけれど、難解で、哲学的な映画らしいですね。イングリッド・バーグマンの「秋のソナタ」は見てみたい。
「不可能なことこそ魅惑的である。」と彼の自伝には記してあるそうです。
