The Magician

Though lushly directed & beautifully acted, Bergman lost the plot with too many metaphors in this early film. 3.5/5

I didn't find this as profound as the Faith Trilogy but it was gorgeous & made me think. Very lovely. 3.5/5

The Silence

Even Bergman's weakest of his faith trilogy is better than most's best. Strange, symbolic, & enlightening. 4.5/5

Winter Light

So perfect a portrait of bleakness & isolation was never so passionately & profoundly made. Utterly amazing. Honestly... what can one say about Bergman save for praise? This is masterful film-making & it hits you right in the soul. Wow. 5/5
