Summary/Abstract: We study in this article some elements of the tragic of love which is present in Ingmar Bergman’s work: the changing character of human being and his desire of an impossible stability; the love relation as a representation; the impossibility of understanding and of being understood; the impossibility of going out of oneself; the impossibility of being happy alone as well as being two; and the refuse to have a child. We remind in our Conclusion that Bergman manages nevertheless to go beyond the tragic of love in a movie like Wild Strawberries.
