Does anyone like the Latin teacher? It’s suspect him being in the home with the dead person. Personally found this movie to be average all around. The actors did an OK job.

”Hey, teacher! Leave them kids alone!”

Väldigt bra studie i auktoritära figurer

Det väcker en sådan ilska i mig att se den trakasserande gå fri utan konsekvenser. Eller är han verkligen helt befriad ifrån straff? Hur som helst så är han en äcklig och patetisk liten skit vars avsaknad skulle göra Jorden till en bättre plats.

Min första Bergman-film beroende på hur man ser på det.

I think I liked this? I need to break it down a bit then I can know for sure:

The clear standout is the writing. I'm not just saying this because it is Ingmar Bergman, but the screenplay is seriously the best part of the film. As someone who takes Latin, I can say that yes, Latin teachers just be like that. I'm kidding. My Latin teacher is one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. But the dialogue between teacher and students works really well for me.

The direction and camera work fits in just fine. I love the grand shots of the interior of the school and the use of shadows was very effective. Very moody and very on-tone.

But the acting...jeez. The actress who plays Bertha made it so hard to enjoy this film. Her performance is just hard to watch. And for a movie about jealousy and obsession over this girl I had to wonder...why? What made her so great? Even her scene partners had so little chemistry with her. It was rough.

I though it would be a bore and it wasn't really. Some rough patches but overall it is an interesting slice of early Swedish cinema.

It’s cool and all that Bergman wrote this, but I was so fucking bored.
