Abstract

The article explores the intersection of memory and death in Ingmar Bergman's film A Passion (1969), drawing on the concept of puissance du faux (the power of the false) as developed by Gilles Deleuze. Topics include the fragility and significance of memory in the film, the thematic portrayal of death not as an end but as an ongoing process, and the way in which characters in the film engage in the continual fabrication of false memories.
