Wow. Just wow. Ingmar Bergman really outdid himself this time. His movies are always a thoughtful watch because they're usually out somewhere on a parallel spiritual plane. This one, however, has two new characteristics: First, he's completely up-in-your-face about dysfunctional families. And second, there is so much incredible philosophy threaded into the film that you'll want to hit the pause button and take notes. IMHO, this might be Ingmar's best.
