Now THAT'S a disturbing film!
Bergman, quite often, has a strange impact upon me: immediately afterwards, I don't think the film was that good. Hours later, or the next day, it "explodes" in my mind, like a delayed-fuse bomb.
One of the great delights, of course, is seeing the familiar faces of his ensemble, playing very different roles in each production. The roles, for instance, one would have expected Von Sydow to portray are taken by another.
This movie, btw, must be seen on a theater screen to fully appreciate it, so much of it is visual. My 27" didn't quite do it justice...
