Bergman,

"The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean team-work. One is always alone; on the set as before the blank page. And for Bergman, to be alone means to ask questions. And to make films means to answer them. Nothing could be more classically romantic."

— Jean-Luc Godard, "Bergmanorama,"
Cahiers du cinéma (July 1958)
