Ingmar Bergman

       Ingmar Bergman brings the dour Scandinavian soul to his films.  All of them are on the serious, philosophical, even bleak side whether dealing with religion as in "The Seventh Seal"  or the loss of virginity in "The Virgin Spring.  .Ingmar Bergman digs deep into the universal human condition.  He covers such topics as revenge, fight or flight, faith, love, hate and how the generations see each other.  Ingmar Bergman was not just a film director ,he was also a writer and producer of films as well as for the stage and television.  His films received much critical acclaim, but never got into heavy grosses at the box office.  Possibly, a little too deep for the average movie goer looking for entertainment.  Nonetheless, he will always rank at the top of the best directors' list of all time.
