Directed by: Bille August Starring: Samuel Fröler, Pernilla August, Max von Sydow Written by Ingmar Bergman, directed by Bille August. Supposedly the story of Bergman's parents, but their names were changed so I suppose other details are fabricated as well. The script is wonderful; Bergman understands people and their relationships like no one else. It makes characters in other movies seem embarassingly incomplete. Bergman's characters change their minds, have violent outbursts followed by tender moments, feel guilt and doubt and pride and shame, and the words they speak are so right. August's direction is more distant than Bergman's, but he does a fine job, getting great performances from the leads. Very worthwhile. RATING: 4.5 PROS: compelling story and characters CONS: Bergman would have done it better ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104350/
