One of the trilogy of God/Faith. Films full of metaphors and symbols. Desolate islands, dilapidated holiday houses, lonely sea levels, modern people with complex and empty hearts... Bergman is always good at using simple to extreme story settings to express complex to extreme philosophical propositions. His actors are always full of expressive facial expressions and are not afraid of close-ups. This movie is really too depressing.
