Not a happy bunch. The priest who has lost his faith, the spurned lover who only lives to please him, the parishioner who needs any reason not to kill himself (but can’t get a word in edgewise) and a lot of cold, cold, cold. Wear a blanket when you watch this one. No one does bleak despair like Ingmar. Fascinating in how not-un-watchable this is.
