In Reply to: In defense of Bergman. posted by patrickU on August 13, 2007 at 06:26:41:
Bergman's peers were few, his critics many. The current naysayers are engaged in cynically cashing in on the death and memory of one of the 20th century's greatest artists.
IMHO, Bergman, for all his faults, ranks with the likes of Picasso and Warhol, Hemingway and Dylan Thomas, Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan, Chaplin and Fellini. Artists whose greatest works transcend meaningful criticism to become parts of the universal language of humankind.
