Recently Dead

Ingmar Bergman, considered one of the greatest directors in motion picture history, died today at home on the small island of Faro on the Baltic coast of Sweden. He was 89. We think Best Week Ever synopsized his passing most succinctly, saying, "His death was described as beautiful and poetic, but somewhat difficult to understand."
