" Ingmar Bergman’s films had a very broad and rich relationship with the rest of European cinema, contrary to the myth that Bergman was a peripheral figure, culturally and aesthetically isolated from the rest of Europe. This book contends that he should be put at the very center of European film history by chronologically comparing Bergman’s relationship to key European directors such as Carl Theodor Dreyer, Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo ..."

"Ignored, nameless and faceless in the eyes of Rohmer's guillible subject, they
may well be the key to the destiny of the film. And when they are seen, they are '
seen' but not looked at, either by the protagonist or the spectator. They are
neutral recipients of the nongaze. In Full Moon in Paris (1984), Rohmer supplies
us with his cruel exception to the efficacy of the blindfold. Louise overlooks the
presence of Marianne with Rémi a ..."
