Brilliant movie, my second Bergman. 4 person cast on (almost) one location over the course of one day, but never feels stage-y or claustrophobic. Really haunting portrayal of schizophrenia played by Harriet Andersson, but all the characters have desperate, painful arcs to follow and are played beautifully. Max von Sydow is a particular standout.
