On Bergman and Antonioni

As you may have heard by now, two extraordinary film directors have just passed on. I'm a great lover of Ingmar Bergman's work, and if you haven't seen any of his films, you must at least see Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal (with the famous chess match with Death scene).

As for Michelangelo Antonioni, I'm kicking myself for not being more familiar with his work: I haven't even seen L'Avventura! What have I been doing with my life?
