Nothing much more needs to be said. (although a minimum of 10 lines is required for publication so now I will have to wax poetic anyway) I remembered seeing this as an intro to an art film (that i have now long since forgotten) while I was in college. As a fan of "art films" my friends and i would go almost religiously to several films a week, including among others many of Bergman's. We were watching this without much thought when we suddenly realized that it was all in pidgin English made to sound Swedish, with the hilarious subtitles, the pseudo symbolism (cannons, long limo, trees), the outhouse instead of the strawberry field, then there is the badminton game with death. I never saw it again, and have searched for years to find it again. I tried very hard for years to locate this film with little success. I actually located a few versions in 16mm film in a university archives, and almost rented it and a projector (a true sign of desperation). About a year ago I found a copy on VHS as part of a compendium of short subjects (including Bambi vs Godzilla, BTW) and since it is nearly impossible to locate otherwise, and the VHS is out of print, i will be happy to supply anyone who wants with a copy of this incredible film. Feel free to contact me.
