8 / 10 I just watched this again on Turner Classic Movies. And once more more I was impressed by Bertil Guve. A mature and nuanced performance. His intensity was laser sharp.
There are film clips of Bergman directing Bertil in a number of scenes that are wonderful to watch. One of them is at: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31rlic
My Movie Rating:
10 / 10 A great film but I think the miniseries is much better, since it isn't as condensed (more scenes especially between the boy and his stepfather and some of it was rather interesting).
My Movie Rating: 9 / 10 In my view Ingmar Bergman's greatest films, which means some of the greatest films ever made, are the medieval dramas The Seventh Seal and The Virgin Spring; the 'Silence of God trilogy': Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light and The Silence; Wild Strawberries; and this one.
