Perhaps I'm wrong to think so, but I believe this is Bergman's finest, and by that I may mean wondrously elusive, film. All of the characters' stories, their histories and actions, work together perfectly. Of course Nykvist's photography is flawlessly atmospheric and vibrant; and Bergman's camera placement and direction couldn't be any other way. It all looks and feels inevitable, and I love how the story appears to double back on itself.
