You really helped me understand and appreciate the unusual breaking of the fourth wall in this series. As usual, you give me more insight than many of the critics and add to my viewing (and reading) pleasure!
I’ve rarely felt as hopeless about marriage as I have while watching Bergman. It’s not surprising that he influenced divorce rates in Sweden! I had an undergraduate professor who said that few people would have the courage to start over again with the person they married, knowing all they’d learned over the years. At the time I thought it was the most depressing thing I’d ever heard. Now it simply seems honest.
