He means directing specifically for the film medium; IOW, Bergman has too theatrical a directing style. (nt) - Audiophilander 12:30:01 09/02/07 (5)

  The problem is you did not.
  A hint...Bergman was from day one fascinated by the...film.
  Theater came later in his life.d
  But it does no matter as his direction for films was not the static way one would understand commonly about a static director.
  He was a film director. Point.

    In this instance I was describing the impression left by the staginess of his direction. The fact that he didn't arrive at film directing from the stage isn't an issue.
    
    Now, the $60,000 question: do YOU have a clue? ;0)

    When he was but a small child and had traded his brother his tin soldiers for the brothers newly received Cinematograph.
    
    He described loading the film strip and then...
    
    "A picture of a meadow appeared on the wall. Asleep in the meadow was a young woman apparently wearing national costume. Then I turned the handle! It is impossible to describe this. I can't find word to express my excitement. But at any time I can recall the smell of the hot metal, the scent of mothballs and dust in the wardrobe, the feel of the crank against my hand. I can see the trembling rectangle on the wall.
    
    I turned the handle and the girl woke up, sat up, slowly got up, stretched her arms out, swung round and disappeared to the riht. If I went on turning, she would again lie there, then make exactly the same movements all over again.
    
    She was moving . "

      Wonderful and later his love with the Lanterna and his parent who was changing the rule and adding features.
      He was a real movie maker.
      And a theater man, who put- la flute enchant�e on celluloid.
      - Yes, clearly he lived and breathed film-making. - sjb 14:20:50 09/02/07 (0)

        It was part of the very essence of his being.
        
        That he was also a world class theater director does not diminish him as a film-maker in any way... it only adds to his overall greatness (Tin knows this he was just trying to be provacative... Auph may really believe what he wrote though).
