It is intellectual, heart breaking and together a little bit shocking film. It makes your brain thinking and asking yourself a lot of philosophical questions: Why? What for? Overall I want to say that I really miss such movies nowadays. Thanks for the great review! <strong>jb says</strong>: Thanks, Jack. Yes, it's nice to come across a movie you can get your teeth into.

It doesn't matter that he was old and retired. He was the subject of my very first blog in fact. Just before it the BBC showed a last interview with him and a decent documentary and (a first showing I think of) the early film Sawdust and Tinsel which was great but I've been waiting patiently on a retrospective (now they have BBC4, the perfect place) but nadir, just a repeat of Scenes from a Marriage which I must get round to watching again. It's been years since I've seen Broken Glass though. <strong>jb says</strong>: My local cinema showed a few of the Bergman films, lately. They really are much more impressive on a large screen than the television. The cinematography is physically stunning. More than once I've found myself in the cinema with my mouth open . . .
