The master of Swedish cinema, Ingmar Bergman, passed away Monday July 30th at age 89, leaving behind a legacy of over 50 films from a career spanning 7 decades. Known for his existential and soul-searching dramas, Bergman came to international notice with his 1955 comedy Smiles of a Summer Night, and solidified his status as a master technician two years later with his classic The Seventh Seal. (of which he writes about as case study in his book he published about cinematography I studied)
