Ingmar Bergman

Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) was a Swedish director and writer known for his many films, most of which are lengthy, existentialist examinations of such issues as religion, violence, and the nature of evil. Perhaps his single best known film is The Seventh Seal (1957), in which the protagonist plays chess with Death. In a nearly six decade career, Bergamn wrote 66 films or TV productions, directed 62, and received 9 Academy Award nominations.
