Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Bergman's Idea of Film-Making

  • Bergman sees film-making as a highly visual and emotional art.
  • A film begins with split-second impressions such as a remark, a piece of music, a shaft of light, or a mood.
  • These impressions are not yet a story; they are a mental state full of images and associations.

2. Film, Literature, and Music

  • Bergman says film has nothing to do with literature because the two art forms usually conflict.
  • The written word is assimilated consciously through intellect, while film acts directly on feelings.
  • He believes making films out of books should generally be avoided because the irrational dimension of literature cannot be transferred fully.

3. Bergman's View of the Artist and the Audience

  • He clearly states that he is a film-maker, not an author.
  • He wants to make films about conditions, tensions, pictures, rhythms, and characters important to him.
