The Swedish movie director passed away at his home in Faro, Sweden, on Monday.
Famed for his contribution to modern cinema, the Oscar-winning moviemaker made a name for himself as a stage director before branching into celluloid, winning awards for The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly and Fanny and Alexander.
Described by director Woody Allen as "probably the greatest film artist, all things considered, since the invention of the motion picture camera," Bergman spent sixty years directing over 40 films, 100 theater productions and numerous television plays.
In recent time, he left his film career and returned to the stage directing a series of highly acclaimed plays at Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theatre.
He was married five times and was father to nine children.
