Legendary Actor Max von Sydow Passes Away at Age 90

March 9, 2020 Jordan Ruimy

According to Paris Match, Legendary Swedish actor Max von Sydow has passed away at the age of 90.

Max Von Sydow’s legacy & nine-decade body of work is incomparable. He was one of the last living actors who could make the claim of having acted in 11 Ingmar Bergman movies. The Academy never giving him an honorary Oscar, after having multiple opportunities, is truly inexcusable.

His career, spanning an incredible nine decades, and films with Bergman, George Stevens, John Huston, David Lynch, Woody Allen, Lars von Trier, Spielberg, and Scorsese. No other actor could make the claim of having played Death itself in “The Seventh Seal,” the demon in “The Exorcist,” and faced off against Kylo Ren in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

His career spanned European arthouse cinema to Hollywood blockbusters. However, he will always be remembered as an early collaborator of director Ingmar Bergman’s groundbreaking films and stage plays. It’s with these Swedish films that he found a way to break through and make a name for himself, I mean, how could you ignore a filmography that includes classics such as The Seventh Seal, The Wild Strawberries, Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, Hour of the Wolf, The Passion of Anna and Shame?

There will never be another Max von Sydow.
