The 21st is shaping up to be just as problematic and we go into it without any artists of this caliber to help us, in their various ways, with understanding, or knowledge, or solace.
That is, I don't see anybody stepping up.

That's one way art works. The artist creates a rhythm, a story, a world, and will eagerly lead you through it. One wrong step or even a misplaced emphasis from the artist and the whole show either tumbles or stumbles. But the partner needs to pay attention, and really be up and ready to go with the flow.
And while I rarely enjoyed Bergman's movies, and I don't think the truth, which I recognized, threw me off, he was more than brilliant. His dances are rich and complex and we're lucky to have them.

As for the future, David Lynch lives in the same part of my brain as all the aforementioned artists.

What could be sexier than Blow Up? What could be dreamier than The Passenger?
But I agree with Weepingsam --these old guys were great, but there are lots more to take their place.

Probably the first "art" film I saw and I did not like its effect. The only word I remember to describe it was "manipulative".

Saw Autumn Sonata when it first came out and despised it so much I refused to see another Bergman film except by accident. Kinda like getting sick the first time you drink some putrid alcohol when you're a kid and swear off that flavor the rest of your life.

From the little I know about the guy he seemed to be honest to himself, that's achievement.

I agree with weepingsam: Hou, Lynch are still young enough to break new forms/modes, Marker's always in search of a subject, and maybe DeOlivera can live to 150. (Has Oshima made anything since Taboo?)

I think he had a serious stroke in the early 00s, and has been in very bad health... it's notable how many of the filmmakers of that generation, in their late 70s and 80s, are still active - Godard, Resnais, Chabrol, Rivette, Rohmer, Marker - all putting out films in the last year or two... de Oliveira keeps them coming; Kon Ichikawa, well into his 90s, is still making films...
