Legendary

This underrated erotic thriller is in my opinion one of the greatest Swedish achievements of the 70s. Idyllic Smaaland sets the backdrop for a tale of human trials and errors. The characters and their destinies will mark you for life.

Orginally meant as a meta-commentary to Ingmar Bergmanns films, this production early began to life its own life. An all amateur cast revealed enormous talent, and the director let the script evolve in a Mike Leigh kind of way.

This is a must see. 9 out of 10
