Two Quotes by Ingmar Bergman

“Each film is my last.”

“Film is not like literature. More often than not, the character and the substance of the two art forms are in conflict. The written word is read and assimilated by a conscious act and in connection with the intellect, and little by little, it plays on the imagination or feelings. It is completely different with the motion picture. When we see a film in a cinema we are conscious that an illusion has been prepared for us and we relax and accept it with our will and intellect. We prepare the way into our imagination. The sequence of images play directly on our feelings without touching our mind.”
