You kinda wonder about the consecutive recent deaths of great film directors. Why did they come in batches? These three directors are classic, especially Bergman and Antonioni. My favorite is Edward Yang's YiYi (A One and A Two). Nevermind the awards but I saw Yiyi in the cinema. An emotional and visual treat is all I can say. Movies are meant to be seen in the cinema. Sorry but DVD, no matter how sophisticated your screen, sound system and viewing room are, just doesn't cut it out for me. But with DVD, at least, we will have film classics forever. The local film festivals should show films from these directors so that we get to experience their films as they were meant to be.
