“It was fairly obvious that the cinema should be my chosen means of expression. I made myself understood in a language that b-passed words, which I lacked; music, which I have never mastered; and painting, which left me unmoved. Suddenly, I had the possibility of corresponding with the world around me in a language that is literally spoken from soul to soul, in terms that avoid control by the intellect in a manner almost voluptuous.”
From Bergman’s presentation Erasmus Prize, Amsterdam, 1965
