Sven Nykvist 1922 - 2006

Del Herald Tribune:

Oscar-winning Swedish filmmaker Sven Nykvist, who was director Ingmar Bergman's cinematographer of choice, has died after a long illness, his son said. He was 83.

Nykvist won Academy Awards for best cinematography for the Bergman films "Cries and Whispers" in 1973 and "Fanny and Alexander" in 1982.

"Together with Ingmar, he created movie history with those lighting arrangements," said Carl-Gustaf Nykvist, who directed the 2000 documentary "Light Keeps Me Company" about his father.

"He was called 'the master of light' because of the moods and atmospheres he could create with light. It was a near impossibility to create the moods he created."

Un verdadero maestro. Además de su trabajo con Bergman ne encanta lo que hizo con Woody Allen, especialmente Crimes and Misdemeanors, y Lasse Hallstrom en What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, además de La Insoportable Levedad del Ser de Kaufman.

Descance en paz.
