WHAT WE THINK:
OUR SCORE:
– Nothing short than an absolute MASTERPIECE.
JUST A FEW WORDS:
Arguably one of the most important film ever. Placed in the context of silent films it reveals a modernity absolutely still untouched. The acting is completely different from those times, almost left to a minor key, the dealing with the “supernatural” is so modern that still hardly misinterpreted. It’s a drama, it bears ethical doubts, it questions your own stance and your own perception/gaze. Not a case that Bergman would refer to this film as one of the most important ever for cinema in its entirety. And yeah, a few words are really not enough for this film – another one to add to the list of Analysis to be done?
PROS:
- Effects.
- Acting.
- Visuals in all their power.
- The core narrative and its drama/conflict.
- The empathy.
- Life. And Death.
CONS:
- None.
