Rating: Summary: A very affecting film Review: This is definately a DVD worth buying. You don't have to be a Bergman buff to be enthralled by this film. Rife with symbolism, suspense, and magical performances by the actors, this horrifying classic film feels almost contemporary in its sophisticated treatment of violence, jealousy, and revenge. This film includes some brilliant cinematography you won't soon forget. Like the films of M. Night Shyamalan, there is simply so much to look at that you'll feel transformed into another place and time.
Rating: Summary: Max Von Sydow & Ingmar Bergman at Their Best. Review: This is the only foreign movie to win an Academy Award. Its in stark black and white during Medieval times. Lots of Pagan imagery. Max comes across as the Norse god Odin full of vengeance. He's down right scary when he goes after the 3 who raped and murdered his beautiful daughter. You won't be able to take your eyes off that scene, or the rest of the movie for that matter. This movie is an A+
