When you are an admirer of Ingmar Bergman, like me, this film is the best choice. Not only as reflection of his spirit. Not only for the performances and lovely use of melodrama. But for something escaping to definitions. The atmosphere, the portrait of marriage in the first half of XX century Sweden. And more. It is a film about happiness of the other , yourself being only a tool for it. A film about sacrifices and love and mission and fundamental choices. A film about a world, remembering Fanny och Alexander , being, at the level of tone, more sweet but remaining interesting, for the impressive cinematography, than for precise adaptation .
