A sailor returns to his hometown after 7 years and remembers the dark and the light moments of his past.
Second film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman shows his deep understanding of characters in crisis especially women. With its universal themes the film has not dated and is played at a pace modern audiences will find acceptable. It's quite compelling with fine performances. Beautifully restored on Blu-Ray disc. Recommended.
