@trouter2000 Not only for its philosphical and religious themes but also in term of balance and inner structure. There's nothing wrong in this movie, from the beginning to the end.

@vinciano I've always thought Winter Light was his best, it goes a lot deeper than some of the more popular ones like The Seventh Seal into questions like God and meaning

He's so sexy, that priest....

This is the film that Bergman said was the only one he created that he really liked. It's a crime that I haven't watched this yet.

Day-to-day preoccupations keep our attention from deeper considerations, but it's a matter of one's personal disposition to see those deeper considerations as inherently bleak. We all have emotional baggage underlying our motivations and behavioral patterns, but IMHO, this idea that on one hand you have truth and on the other frivolity is a false binary. I think this line of reasoning is common to characters in Bergman films, but it's always struck me as a kind of analytical defense mechanism.

How difficult it is to face the truth. Yet we must. Instead of escaping into frivolity.
Artists like Bergman help us to prepare ourselves without having to suffer the pain.

I saw this film many years ago in a repertory cinema as part of a Bergman festival. I found it depressing but well-made.

Bergman är en "förmyndamänniska", hans egna ord
One of the best films ever.

Persona and Nattvardsgasterna are his masterpieces.
