Diary of a Country Priest vs. Winter Light

Just out of curiosity, which one do people prefer? I think Winter Light by Ingmar Bergman is better by miles, but they're both great films.

Hmm... I'm more a Bergman fan than a fan of Bresson, but it this case I prefer the amazing 'Journal d'un curé de campagne' above the closed 'Winter light'.

I don´t think Winter Light, while a good film, quite belongs amongst Bergman´s very best output. And it certainly isn´t as concentrated and emotionally potent as Priest.
