After watching the five-hour TV version, it's the longest one I've ever watched...
First of all, the CC cover is very beautiful, I like it. Personally, this film is not Bergman's best feature film. In terms of plot and depth, I think married life is better. But the film is full of many surreal cinematic techniques, and the use of color throughout the film is also excellent, so Bergman's mastery level is once again demonstrated.
There are also shadows of the Virgin Fountain and the Seventh Seal: Alexander's experience at Uncle Isaac's house and meeting the ghosts of his two fathers at the epilogue.
Above the fragile reality, there are imaginary threads that weave new patterns.
