Scary movie, 18 February 2004
Author: bombasn

I watched this movie yesterday on big screen with live orchestra and it´s was great!

It´s fun to see how Sjöström used different colours to show past (brown), present(black and white) and what could have been (pink). I come to think of modern movies like "Traffic".

I rate it 9 of 10
