Checkmate

No smiles this summer night...
Master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, one of the greatest artists in cinema history, died today at his home on an island off the coast of Sweden. He was 89.

Bergman's dozens of works combined deep seriousness, indelible imagery and unexpected flashes of humor in finely written, inventively shot explorations of difficult subjects such as plague and madness.
