Scene: (Soft-toned monochrome)
A darkened room with wooden walls and shadows at odd angles. Through the window, snowflakes fail to lift the misery of a bleak and depressing landscape.
An elderly fisherman sits mending a net, his pet crocodile sits at his side completing difficult Sudoku puzzles. A clock in his hand seems to whisper 'death' instead of the tradiotional 'tick' or 'tock'.
A young woman is smearing sheep excrement across her knees and shins, while singing a monotonous song about a relentless Winter lasting for another 5 years.
The wind blows under the door, ruffling the pages of the crocodile's Sudoku book and extinguishing most of the candles.
Fisherman: Have you heard the news, Esther?
Time passes.
Esther: What news?
The wind wheezes under the door for a further 45 minutes.
Crocodile: Shall I tell her, master?
The Fisherman removes all his clothes and stabs his chest with a pencil.
The last remaining candle flickers.
Fisherman: You may as well.
All 3 begin to weep solemnly.
Crocodile: Ingmar Bergman is dead.

They should make this into a play and hand out acid and a ball gag before the show.

Nexa don't be silly. The ball gags are only for the children in attendance

Who's unprepared? I have a ball-gag.

I was disappointed that I couldn't associate any of the obscure actors with any of these slightly anonymous posters. It really adds to the believability of the performance.
Wtf Neph? You're lagging way behind 
As always, brilliantly captured Nobby.

About the post, not the death
Antonioni died last night as well.
Loach tomorrow?
