Archival object of the day

In a notebook, mostly containing ideas for The Magician, Bergman, like most of us, from time to time, complains a little. The Seventh Seal has just opened, and the rehearsals for Peer Gynt are wearing him out. 'I'm fed up,' he exclaims, and continues:

'What I most feel like doing is of course that Uppsala movie. The world of childhood. I have no name but many images keep coming all by themselves and [unreadable]. I only need to try and catch them.'

The year is 1957, so it only took him some thirty years to get it done.
