The Silence (rewatch)
Posted by martinteller on October 26, 2004
I wasn’t thrilled with this one the first time, but it’s grown on me a bit. I do miss the brilliant character interaction that Bergman is so good at, but I’ve accepted that this isn’t typical Bergman. This time around I found myself appreciating Nykvist’s cinematography a lot more, really impressive. I still don’t care much for the dwarves, it seems like a cheap way to make a point (and I’m not entirely sure what the point is supposed to be). Rating: 8
