Bergman achieves an intense appreciation of physical states — sexual desire, fatigue, illness, old age, a child's smallness — in a stifling, sticky, sensual film about two sisters, travelling companions, one a lustful young mother and the other a moribund lesbian, who make a stopover at a baroque hotel in an unspecified foreign city, while the streets outside rumble with warlike noises. Technically — with Sven Nykvist in charge of lighting and camera movement — it's perfection. Ingrid Thulin, Gunnel Lindblom. (1963) — Duncan Shepherd
