   I was watching an interview with Bergman and it was followed by the movie: it’s as though Bergman’s hard-won humanism and fearlessness in the realms of outer and inner experience (impressions as he called them) allows the making of this kind of essay on what it is to live and long for meaning encircled by death and suffering. The energy of the characters was the most striking feature of the movie: I also was invaded with intense and very unusual dreams afterwards, which prompts me to think that the symbolic and ritualistic visuals were very friendly to the subconscious.
