Farewell Film Greats



European masters of modern cinema Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni died earlier this week, Bergman at 89 and Antonioni at 94.

Antonioni's work influenced subsequent art films as he used open-ended narratives and skewed timelines.

Bergman was often considered the greatest filmmaker of all time, influencing directors such as Woody Allen, David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Lars Von Trier, and Krzystof Kieslowski.
