Bergman sets in motion a reeling depiction of the syndrome called marriage and how a man and a woman, diametrically opposite in the process of thought can co-exist and live life at all intimate levels – loving, hating and everything (emotions, ego, ideals, whims, misgivings, misunderstandings, morals) in between.

Simple in its construction, profound in its content, absolutely honest and truthful examination of the most complex of human relationships.The art of learning, re-learning and realizing the importance of giving anything time to grow and time to fail will never be depicted better.

One of the most compelling, intriguing and enchanting movie experiences of my life. 12 hours after watching the film, Johan and Marianne refuse to get out of my head as I see them fight, make truce, fight again and end up in a hug.
