Film As Dream, Film As Music. No

One Has To Manage Alone As Best One Can. (karin Bergman)

My Basic View Of Things Is - Not To Have Any Basic View Of Things. From Having Been Exceedingly Dogmatic, My Views On Life Have Gradually Dissolved. They Don't Exist Any Longer.

I Have Thus Decided To Make A Certain Film And Now Begins The Complicated And Difficult-to-master Work. To Transfer Rhythms, Moods, Atmosphere, Tensions, Sequences, Tones And Scents Into Words And Sentences In A Readable Or At Least Understandable Script. This Is Difficult But Not Impossible.

I Know That I Shall Have Lost To The Jungle If I Take A Weak Moral Standpoint Or Relax My Mental Punctiliousness. I Have Therefore Come To A Certain Belief Which Is Based On Three Powerful Effective Commandments: Thou Shalt Be Entertaining At All Times. Thou Shalt Obey Thy Artistic Conscience At All Times. Thou Shalt Make Each Film As If It Were Thy Last.

I Want To Confess As Best I Can, But My Heart Is Void. The Void Is A Mirror. I See My Face And Feel Loathing And Horror. My Indifference To Men Has Shut Me Out. I Live Now In A World Of Ghosts, A Prisoner In My Dreams.
