Ingmar Bergman, genius of modern film, has died at his home in Sweden at the age of 89
30th July 2007
No link — the bare fact is enough to generate a collective sigh of relief from the middle class. The People of the Crust are in mourning, of course, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I had a girlfriend in college who enjoyed Bergman films and claimed to understand them. Thirty years later she’s a distinguished professor of law and I’m happily married to someone else, which shows you that life works out for the best more often than you might suspect.
