Awesome submitted by mysterio on August 6, 2011, 10:02am Awesome

not my favotite movie by the Giant Ingmar Bergman submitted by Tassos on March 29, 2023, 8:30am And my opinion did not change when I saw it again last night

Quite interesting submitted by brooksza on June 19, 2023, 5:48pm I saw this in high school but this was basically a first watch. I was surprised some of the lighter moments in such a bleak story. Inconic imagery and settings.

Turns out I watched two plague and faith based movies this week because I also watched Benedetta. The two movies had lots of connections.
