Probably my favourite director. His films dealt with existentialism; the human condition, and often depicted despair and bleak despondancy. Dealing in death, illness, madness, isolation and tragedy, he often brought an element of humour to his work. His cinematography i think has never been surpassed.

The Seventh Seal is one of the greatest films ever made, an absolute masterpiece, yet he also made so many films that are close to the standard of his breakthrough. Wild Strawberries, Through a Glass Darkly, Smiles of a Summers Night, Brink Of Life, Cries and Whispers, Scenes From a Marriage, The Virgin Spring, Hour of the Wolf... the list is endless
