COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Really hard to watch, annoying, poor photography, distorted images submitted by Tassos on December 7, 2022, 9:58am I love Bergman's films, some of them I consider the best EVER, WORLD WIDE, but this damned DVD has a ton of problems, and in addition the 'gimmicky' way the film is organized and presented not only requires our undivided attention (I had to frequently go back and replay some sections), it is a PAIN to watch, so I stopped it in the middle and I doubt I will finish the god damned thing.

Maybe Bergman should make his movies in ENGLISH. Just a thought. Then It would be much easier to follow, even if I am temporarily distracted and miss a few damned subtitles.
