Bergman made The Lighthouse 60 years before The Lighthouse.
Must be important and deep but I didn’t really get it. I loved the photography tho and the beautiful black and white.
A perfect movie. I couldn’t look away from start to finish. I feel like it opened a gaping wound in my soul in the best way possible.
Incredible metaphor, tone, and atmosphere. Bergman is at his best with secret anger and frustrations that characters slowly manifest.
I recommend this film to Bergman's fans or people fond of it's style. Not one of it's best films but i really like it's dark tone.
Underrated masterpiece of Ingmar Bergman. I mean yeah, EVERYONE talks about Persona but what about this?
It's my favorite from the thrilogy. It leaves us shattered.
Incredible atmosphere, lots of interesting thoughts on mental health, god and being a writer. This is barely breaking the surface, deep film
Bergman haciendo lo que mejor sabe hacer. Personajes bien construidos, un guión fantástico y que logra generar reflexión.
Genuinely a fantastic film. One of, if not the most emotionally moving movies I’ve ever seen.
