I like that strange voice over comment at the end of this trailer. The film is uncategorizable. Scene after scene in it is brilliant, but one has the impression that Bergman was making three or four movies at the same time, and that he hadn't quite decided what he wanted PASSION OF ANNA to be about. This film must be seen though: there's more art in it than in any ten Hollywood pictures put together. - @Tuesday, March 19, 2013 10:57 PM
