Of Antonioni's work, I've only seen "L'Avventura and "Blow-Up"; of Bergman's, only the "spiritual trilogy." So, obviously, I haven't had anything scintillating to say about the deaths of these two great directors. Slate has a pair of nice write-ups -- Dennis Lim on Antonioni and Dana Stevens on Bergman. Meanwhile, Steve Sailer notices that, in the vast coverage of Bergman's death, the director's flirtation with Nazism was conveniently forgotten.
