This is not an easy film to watch. It requires consentration and open mindedness and there is no clear narrative dished out from the screen. And yet it gives so much. The character's are mostly difficult to like and in Johan's case downright repulsive, yet through the telling of the story you are brought to share an empathy with them and to recognize your own flaws in them.
The style of the film is remarkably similar to its prequile scenes from a marriage, there are as many cast as could be fitted into a car, lacks humour (which is unusual for Bergman) and almost exclussivly focuses on dialogue and it shares in its Brillance, a deeply enlightening film.
