The second part of an unnamed trilogy about violence invading ordinary lives that Bergman directed in the 60s, with all three films shot on the island of Fårö and starring Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. This one is kind of a bleak war film (Bergman style, of course), even when what we see is more the sidelines of the conflict and how they affect a country couple. Even when it has good moments, excellent performances (especially by Ullmann) and a good open conclusion, the film didn't click with me as much as other Bergman titles (he also wasn't very satisfied with it), probably because the writing seems poorer than normal.
