\/\/INTER |_IGHT 1 1962

On a cold winter's Sunday, the pastor of a small rural church (Tomas Ericsson) performs service for a tiny congregation; though he is suffering from a cold and a severe crisis of faith. After the service, he attempts to console a fisherman (Jonas Persson) who is tormented by anxiety, but Tomas can only speak about his own troubled relationship with God. A school teacher (Maerta Lundberg) offers Tomas her love as consolation for his loss of faith. But Tomas resists her love as desperately as she offers it to him. This is the second in Bergman's trilogy of films dealing with man's relationship with God

@ElenaXVI I believe the Magic Lantern is a sort of projector that casts silhouette shadows on a wall -- or whatever. Anyway, story goes, Ingmar Bergman's brother received one as a Christmas gift. And Ingmar, fascinated by the Magic Lantern, traded all of his tin soldier collection for it.

I always think of that story (which I may have butchered) when I watch the intro to Fanny and Alexander.
