Viewing Notes

My first time seeing this film, which has been on my bucket list for a long time.  It did not disappoint. 

I thought it was far more cinematic than Bergman’s previous films. This was Sven Nykvist’s first film for Bergman, although he wouldn’t become Bergman’s regular cinematographer for several more years.
