Dickensian drama & fairy tale
This is an autobiographical tale of a brother and sister born in an aristocratic family in Sweden. The story is part Dickensian drama, part mystical fairy tale.

"10.2 Helpoiten lähestyttävä Bergman tähän astisista, muttei lainkaan huono. Menee omissa kirjoissani jopa kärkikolmikkoon Seitsemännen sinetin ja Mansikkapaikan ohella. Unenomaisen surrealistinen ja satumainen tarina, jonka jokainen otos on tarkkaan harkittu ja maalausmainen. Kolmen tunnin kesto ei tunnu missään. Begmanilaiseen tyyliin kaunistelematon kertomus elämästä, jossa tällä kertaa on keskiössä se, miten kahden lapsen perheidylli sirpaloituu pieniksi palasiksi."

" As a family saga this is a highly engrossing one especially due to the character details and excellent ensemble. It is also a 100% realistic story, especially since it's semi-autobiographical on Ingmar Bergman's behalf. The film has also one of the best priest villains that has ever been on screen that last a long disturbing image on my mind. BUT, the longer TV miniseries version that this film was edited from is the true way to really embrace it. Still, it is a superior film. "

" Notes: Even though this movie is obviously considered as a massive masterpiece, to be honest, I really hard time to care for the damned thing and, I guess, this one belongs to the category 'misunderstood masterpiece’. What I mean by that is that I was able to see all the craft behind it, I could see it was obviously a work of Art but I'm afraid I didn't really get it. Basically, it was not really my cup of tea. Indeed, it was very bleak and there was a lot of weird stuff and symbolism that w"
