Wish I hadn't seen this so late
I wish I hadn't seen Through A Glass Darkly first, because I had such high expectations for Harriet Andersson. The film is so beautifully shot, especially a few of the early scenes on the street and obviously, those where they've run off, but it comes across as plain. It's obviously an age old story of young love, but the turn towards the end, while true to life in so many ways, turned the emotions too quickly for me. I realize it's based on a novel, but it just felt like the rug was pulled out from under us, as it was Harry. Still a wonderful film, but so far, my least favorite of Bergman's work.
