The four characters could not be a better contrast of people, very believable but a polar sorts. The cinematography was incredible; the direction masterful. The acting was sublime; the story itself was simple yet engaging and profoundly moving. Simply another masterpiece from the inimitable Ingmar Bergman.

One of my all-time favorite films, for sure.
