Death and demons haunted the anguished works that made Ingmar Bergman (pictured) a filmmaking legend. But the Swedish director — one of the greatest artists in cinema history — had overcome his intense fear of death by the time it finally found him.

Bergman died July 30 at age 89, at his home on the Swedish islet of Faro, the Ingmar Bergman Foundation said.

Colleagues and fans worldwide mourned his death, comparing Bergman to cinema greats such as Akira Kurosawa and Federico Fellini.

Bergman's movies won numerous awards and international acclaim, including Oscars for best foreign film for The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly and Fanny and Alexander.
