Genius, But Some Perspective in Order
It's absolutely mind-blowing that only the hacked down 3h version was seen in the US before this box was released. I don't subscribe to the Bergman is an insane original genius school. Instead, I think that what is great about him is the fact that he is constantly ...

Fantastic film, but DVD chapter titling a problem
This film is moving and gripped me from beginning to end. I have one major gripe however about the DVD. The chapter title of the last segment, which you can read on the DVD case and when you go to "menu" and "chapters" while watching, gives away a crucial plot point. ...
