Saturday Review Writer To Define Director s Art
By JOK SAI.TZMAN Daily Trojan Editor
Ingmar Bergman’s films are interesting to the puhlt<: because they aie essentially works of an individual, not * Hollywood committee, Arthur Knight. Saturday Review critic, told the Summer Trojan yesterday.

The New York author-critic. who is a visiting lecturer in the department of cinema this summer. will speak on “Ingmar Bergman and His Films." today at 2:15 p.m. in 133 FH
"Bergman’s films are stimulating lo the general public because they are the finished product of a group of |>eople who understand and respond to Bergman.” he said, in adding that the public enjoys this individuality even if it doesn’t always understand what b^ is talking about.
He compared this ryi»e ot creative effort to the Hollywood "committee’’ picture
"In so many Hollywood films, the producer buys a story, and hires an adapter, a director and a crew of technicians, all of whom are working on different pictures with different crews.” he explained.
"The result may be entertainment, but it is rarely art." be declared.
He pointed out that the Japanese. Swedish. Italian and French films do not take a play or best-selling novel and make it into a picture.
“Instead, these film makers make a film about something they want to say. and can say effectively through the film medium.’’ he said. “This type of film authorship is lacking in this country.”
Knight gave examples of Alain Resnais, “Hiroshima. Mon Amour.” from France; Ferderico Fellini, "La Strada,” from Italy:
Akira Kurasawa's “Rashomon,” from Japan: and Bergman's own (See Literary Lab, Pag? <
