Apart of Bergman’s 
religious trilogy (Winter Light,The 
Silence) this movie explores the relationship of two children competing 
for their fathers love. The father is a writer and is distant with his children 
and that distance hinders their growth. It's a complex movie and difficult to 
understand because it’s so psychologically in-depth, and that’s why this is the 
fourth Bergman movie to reach my top twenty. -Review by Mark Caldwell
