Philip French referred to Bergman as" one of the greatest artists of the 20th century ... he found in literature and the performing arts a way of both recreating and questioning the human condition." Director Martin Scorsese commented; " If you were alive in the 50s and the 60s and of a certain age, a teenager on your way to becoming an adult, and you wanted to make movies, I do n't see how you could n't be influenced by Bergman ... It's impossible to overestimate the effect that those films had on people." <SEP> Ian Barry is an Australian director of film and TV. <SEP> Peter Levin is an American director of film, television and theatre.
