"I spent almost 3 months with Bergman, four hours every afternoon. We sat and went through the whole script. To be honest, most of the time we talked about life and other different things. It was really a wonderful time"

About this Quote

This quote by Bille August speaks to the close relationship he had with the director Ingmar Bergman. August invested three months with Bergman, 4 hours every afternoon, going through the script. However, it appears that the 2 spent more time speaking about life and other topics than they did talking about the script. This speaks to the strong bond in between the 2, as Bergman wanted to make the effort to get to know August and talk about subjects beyond the script. It also talks to Bergman's ability to produce a comfortable and open atmosphere, as August felt comfortable adequate to speak about life and other topics. The quote also speaks to the fondness August had for the time he spent with Bergman, as he describes it as "fantastic". This recommends that August had the ability to discover a lot from Bergman, both about the script and about life, and that he was grateful for the time they spent together.
