Did no one mention the second scene, the jumping axis of the two couples' party table? In the first main shot, the hero and the female guest are drawn on the left, and the hostess and the male guest are drawn on the right. Then the camera jumped to the side of the table opposite the main camera to complete a set of dialogues. At the end, it's back to the main camera position. Too weird design? ! It's not a scene that's hard to repeat, and I can't help but think the director designed it that way on purpose. If it's just a trivial treatment, I'd be disappointed. Such an arrangement in this paragraph makes it feel like they're constantly changing positions - weird anyway.
There is also a TV version of this film, much like see what it will be like in the TV version. There should be more lines and more details.
The director has great control. In many scenes, the actors' emotions, lines, and performances are all in one go, which is too coherent and makes people breathless. Moreover, most of the time the camera is aimed at the actor's face, and subtle changes cannot escape the eyes of the audience. This is not the time to watch replays anytime! Amazing!
The skill of the actor is reflected in the long takes. Such a tight scene, almost a coherent performance of up to 6 minutes in the case of close-up. (The scene where the two meet again after a 6 month separation, before the heroine reads her diary) What a great actor.
The script was written by Bergman himself.
The director must first have an idea, so that he can speak. This way you know what to look for in the shot when you split the shot. This is a model for a psychological dialogue drama. Why does the camera give D to D when A speaks? And what does D mean when he glances at B at this time. Who is C looking at? Very delicate. At this time, the huge difference between the drama and the movie appeared. It is impossible for the drama to show such subtle changes in expressions. However, in this film, the difference between TV and film is actually not very clear. But most people probably don't watch TV as carefully as they watch a movie.
Regarding marriage, there may be different views, but it is difficult to jump out of such a narrative mode, right? Is there any other way?

    I've never been married, I don't have any experience, and I don't want to believe it's a fact. If it is true, I wish it was only part of it. This is Europe, I just want to talk about the love of my parents, married at 23 years old, 74 years old this year, 50 years of marriage, they have witnessed them love and respect each other for decades, and they will also complain about each other, but they have never beaten or scolded each other. When my father is sick, my mother takes care of me in every possible way. When my mother is sick, my father never leaves. They love each other more than they love themselves. I am really grateful to grow up in such a loving environment and learn to be a person and learn to live. The heroine in the movie is very obvious that the mental problems are buried in the family education since childhood. The self-analysis part is too important. All the commenters don't need to see through marriage. Marriage is the grave of love. There is a lot more to marriage besides sex. Sex is important, and more importantly, love. Love is the foundation of everything. With love, marriage is the sublimation of love. The movie is just the director's wish, I still choose to believe in love, and start with being myself.

    With regard to marriage, it turned out that there has not been much change since it started in the 1970s. When a man mentioned the glow of love on his face when he met Paula, it made me feel cruel.
