People News. Woody & Bergman

People News. Woody & Bergman: It's hard to write an essay about the impact of someone else's life. How do you determine which aspects are significant? I think the struggle to do this when someone has died is reflective of how hard it is to decide what is important while you're alive. What's your life's work? What's most important? How do you balance ambition with being content. All of these are tough questions. Recently Woody tackled these hard questions when he wrote a masterful piece about Ingmar Bergman for the New York Times.

As written by Woody: "I got the news in Oviedo, a lovely little town in the north of Spain where I am shooting a movie, that Bergman had died. A phone message from a mutual friend was relayed to me on the set. Bergman once told me he didn’t want to die on a sunny day, and not having been there, I can only hope he got the flat weather all directors thrive on."
