The Girls

HEDONIST

Quite an austere use of the B&W medium -- more white and black if you ask me. I just got the feeling that the film stock was overexposed throughout the entire picture. Obviously, this was intentional -- suggesting what thematically? That is my question. Women are more pure than men? Not sure. Lovely to see many of the most popular female members of the Bergman troupe get together on screen sans Bergman. Charming.

Diderot

A witty, imaginative, and smart riff on Aristophanes' 'Lysistrata'. Why are more of Zetterling's films not as readily available in US distribution? These stars are as brilliant here as they are in any of Bergman's films.

of it's time or maybe a little ahead of it, but lol at reviews I've seen elsewhere that think the issues in it are things "we've" "moved past"
