90 years ago Ingmar Bergman was born on July 14.
It is hardly a coincidence that Bergman’s popularity has special importance in France. The relationship has an old lineage. Bergman’s great film models were the French Carné and Clair, and Mèliés (alongside Sjöström of course). And if Bergman in turn inspired the French New Wave, French film today to a large extent has taken the legacy of Bergman further with headstrong directors such as Patrice Chéreau, Arnaud Desplechin and Benoît Jacquot in the forefront.
