There’s a tacit agreement between myself and the audience that I will entertain them when they buy their ticket, and I’ve been the one that has screwed that up.

I think Bergman’s films have eternal relevance, because they deal with the difficulty of personal relationships and lack of communication between people and religious aspirations and mortality, existential themes that will be relevant a thousand years from now.
