How crazy is it that Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni died on the same day? What a tragic day for film.
yeah, I know a few of you just said, “huh?”
All my favorite things as I discover them…or as soon as I get bored enough at work to write about it.

I said “huh” because Antonioni apparently didn’t get any press, and I hadn’t heard about his death.
Sad day, indeed.
The reason you probably didn’t hear about Antonioni’s death was because the Italian government didn’t announce it for a day, so even though he died on the same day as Bergman, no one reported it until the day AFTER they reported on Bergman.
After Saraband, I was hoping Bergman would maybe make one or two more movies. It’s a bummer, all right, but I can’t help but think of the line from A Prarie Home Companion – “The death of an old man is never a tragedy.”
