This seems to be the ultimate starter flick to fall into an Ingmar Bergman rabbit hole so of course i'm gonna start out things with this one aswell. I feel terribly ill-equipped to say anything smart or insightful about this landmark that hasn't been stressed ad nauseam at this point but i was surprised how pitch-black wickedly funny the whole thing turned out while on a more personal level, i see an uncanny reflection of my own past struggles with religion leading me to deconstruct my faith and, eventually, become an atheist.
