    A book written by Bergman and directed by Sjoborg. I don't know how the book itself is, but the film is a bit specious. Let's say it's a noir film, girls are optional, and even death is confused. It is said that it is a campus youth film. The teacher, as the villain, speaks harshly from the very beginning, and the children's lives are not too turbulent. It is said to be a suspense thriller. At the beginning, the teacher chases the child, and the shadow that often appears in the film has the...

    Bergman's film debut - his first screenplay. The "Caligula" in the movie, like the Roman emperor Caligula, is brutal and promiscuous, but also has unfortunate experiences and memories. As Bergman wrote: "I was immersed in the mysterious world of churches: low arches, thick walls, the smell of eternity." His childhood also deeply influenced his own films. Everyone is being tortured, but as long as you come out, the ending is...

    The school has always been a prison in the eyes of the students. The teacher is the head of the cell. The head of the cell can go crazy and take pleasure in bullying the students.

Fear can only be a shadow, why not stay in the...
