Rarely cited as a Bergman favorite due to it's rambling nature, quiet introspection and the subtlety of its revelations, it may be his best film. Mr Leslie has been known to take off on a cruise to the 'Northern capitals of Europe' when it all becomes too much for him. As usual we have the 'young man with crush on older woman', one match completed, and others set up for the future.This book was a much better experience than Thirkell's first Barsetshire novel This book was a much better experience than Thirkell's first Barsetshire novel This book was an absolute mess and used the n word to describe a piece of music for just no reason and I know it was written in the 30s, but you should be warned, as it was awful and jarring.
