The movie has some 60's aroma about it, there is no denying, but it is very slight and to me was not distracting, but then I do love that film quite a bit, so I am biased.There is also that hard to avoid impression that Kubrick was influenced in his 2001 by the boy scenes in Persona... as were many other directors.
I would probably agree this is not the Bergman's best work, but man, his standards are so incredibly high this is hardly a negative.
As we are now in the stage of revisiting Bergman the future viewings will obviously beput against this one. I am still to order the Trilogy set from the Criterion.
BTW - you were right, Le Boucher is a very weak film, so we turned it off - it was getting late. We will finish it tonight, but it seems to hold no promise.
