- That's different.

- Why?

He understands me, you don't.

- Have you two had an affair?

- Actually, we haven't.

You can be so oafish and vulgar.

If you're not artistic

it's easy to find all this kissing

a bit distasteful.

- It shows how little you understand.

- Say that again, and...

It just shows how little

you understand...

- Are you asking for trouble?

- No.

- I'm so tired!

- You always say that.

I am tired most of the time

these days.

Why don't you give up your job

and get married?

- Who would marry me?

- Who do you think?

Not you, you don't love me.

Stop that!

- Please be a bit nice to me.

- Why? You'll only push me away.

I've longed for you all day.

- No, you haven't.

- I have, too.

You never let me come near you.

You don't need me.

I never get to take care of you.

You turn to people like that idiot.

What do you know about me?

Or I about you?

Do go on, David...

No... I'm just a simple guy,

a tabloid hack.

What good am I to you?

You're a celebrity.

That's not it... not at all!

- You'll get make-up on you.

- Just show me where it hurts.

Don't talk to me like I'm a child.

I'm probably older than you.

I'm sure, I've always been

attracted to older women.

But admit you're hurting.

Listen, I'm an extremely

self-centred person.

But even I can sometimes feel

a penny drop...

You have such round fingertips.

Such a kind little finger.

You should use a cigarette holder.

I never thought I meant anything

to you...

Imagine if I could tell your fortune.

No, you might be disappointed.

Marie...

You don't need to be

self-sacrificing.

- Let's stop talking nonsense now.

- Fine, I'll call you tomorrow.

Maybe you haven't noticed

I'm here now!

What do you think of us two?

Nothing to write home about...

Do you want to break up?

Yes.

- I don't think you want to do that.

- Yes, I do.

- No...

- Yes!

Is this a game?

I know exactly what you'll say next:

"Have some vitamins."

"You need some sleep." Or:

"You're nervous before the premiere."

Is that so far off the mark?

Go now, Henrik.

Is my name Henrik now?

Who's Henrik?

Please go now. I'll give you

something to read in bed.

Read this book for tomorrow.

Then we'll talk...

Properly, for the first time.

Isn't that a good idea?

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Your ears are dirty, by the way.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

I'd like to cry this whole week,

and next week...

Cry away all my shabbiness

and all this wasted time.

Funny...

I can't seem to cry.

Do I want to cry for a whole week?

A moment ago I did, but now?

Do I want to cry at all?

If I really search inside myself,

I'm actually happy!

Remove your hat.

Remove your hat!

- What are you doing here?

- I'm meeting someone.

- Who?

- Miss Marie.

Get out.

I'm glad you like the ballet,

but we're too busy today.

Get lost!

Ingmar Bergman

Ernst Ingmar Bergman (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɪŋmar ˈbærjman] ( listen); 14 July 1918 – 30 July 2007) was a Swedish director, writer, and producer who worked in film, television, theatre and radio. Considered to be among the most accomplished and influential filmmakers of all time, Bergman's renowned works include Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), The Seventh Seal (1957), Wild Strawberries (1957), The Silence (1963), Persona (1966), Cries and Whispers (1972), Scenes from a Marriage (1973), and Fanny and Alexander (1982). Bergman directed over sixty films and documentaries for cinematic release and for television, most of which he also wrote. He also directed over 170 plays. From 1953, he forged a powerful creative partnership with his full-time cinematographer Sven Nykvist. Among his company of actors were Harriet and Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, Erland Josephson, Ingrid Thulin and Max von Sydow. Most of his films were set in Sweden, and numerous films from Through a Glass Darkly (1961) onward were filmed on the island of Fårö. His work often deals with death, illness, faith, betrayal, bleakness and insanity. Philip French referred to Bergman as "one of the greatest artists of the 20th century [...] he found in literature and the performing arts a way of both recreating and questioning the human condition." Mick LaSalle argued, "Like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce in literature, Ingmar Bergman strove to capture and illuminate the mystery, ecstasy and fullness of life, by concentrating on individual consciousness and essential moments." more…
