big fan of bergman,and i DO like this movie..but he does have a tendancy to re-visit his alienation themes over and over again,and his use of certain shots(one woman facing the audience,the other in side- view) can become across as a bit affected,as does his symbolism(knight playing death in chess,and ,in this film,dwarfs??)..criticisms asisde,awesome,complicated acting and very interesting subtext,and,as usual,room for the audience to inject their own stuff
