Featured review
Not among Bergman's best, But still very good
Ingmar Bergman is one of my top three directors. I have decided to see all his films I can get my hands on. I have seen 18 of his films. And while the most of them are masterpieces, there were a few disappointments. So I was not sure if this film would be any good.
I shouldn't have worried. It was a pleasant surprise because given the low rating, I was expecting at best an average film. While this film is not as good compared to his later work, it is still very good.
Many of themes present here are repeated in his much better films like "Autumn Sonata" and "Sawdust and Tinsel". It is not that visually appealing either. But still it is a work of genius and just a shade less than his best movies. I recommend it to all Bergman fans.
