One Of Ennui's Most Terribel

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.

People Ask What Are My Intentions With My Films - My Aims. It Is A Difficult And Dangerous Question, And I Usually Give An Evasive Answer.

I Know, Of Course, That By Using Film We Can Bring In Other Previously Unknown Worlds, Realities Beyond Reality.

Either I Did Away With That Fear Through Writing, Or In The Course Of Writing, I Discovered It Was No Longer So Intrusive Or Threating. The Bottom Line Is, It's Gone.

We Worked On 'fanny And Alexander' For Seven Months And It Was An Amusing Production. Still, It Was Very Long And Heavy And So Awfully Complicated, .. And When The Premiere Was Over And Everything Went Well, I Thought, 'that's That.' .
