“ No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul.” - Ingmar Bergman
“Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It’s an obsession of mine, that different people, in different places, are thinking the same thing, but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.” - Krzysztof Kieślowski
“A literary work can only be received through symbols, through concepts - for that is what words are; but cinema, like music, allows for utterly direct, emotional, sensuous perception of the work.” - Andrei Tarkovsky
Sometimes, when I lie awake at night, I wonder whether I’ve lived at all. Is it the same for everybody, or do some people have a greater talent for living than others. Do some people never live, but just exist? Then I’m seized by fear and see a horrible picture of myself.
Autumn Sonata (1978)
You see it, God, you see it. The innocent child’s death and my revenge. You allowed it. I don’t understand you. Yet now I beg your forgiveness. I know no other way to be reconciled with my own hands. I know no other way to live.
