-------------------
lemme tell you a tale.
once pon atime there was a certain mrbergman who bonked a certain mrs
bergman and suddenly...
the product didnt stop complaining about life...
must be a right pain in the arse to live in sweden i must say. either
that or we all know what christianity in its many pathetic forms does
to ppl, or perhaps it was a result of young bergman getting strindberg
rammed up his arse.
be that as it may bergman's entire filmography is burdened with:
pain
making this a rather unique pic.
BUT BY NO MEANS A GREAT PIC! IT BORED THE SHITS OUT OF ME!
the typical marriage just an obstacle like in stupid moliere, everyone
bonks who theyr not allowed to, and the wife runs away with the son,
the husband nearly shoots himself and the aristocrat goes along with
the younger the better philosophy and parades away with another teen.
and lets not forget the maid who decides to go to holland coz of the
windmills and bonks an ugly old man but it seems like theyll live
happily ever after, bonking in the hay off course.
the maid i must say was rather fit. from the face she was a wee bit
ugly but as the soon to become priest kindly points out walks in a
number of delicious ways.
bonkability, bonkableness, bonkabalaciousness, bonkalore seem to be
the topics of this 'comedy'.
the movie is not funny. tries to be, but it isnt. i accept bets on
whether or not this mooie would still be floatin around if it didnt
have the trademark bergman sticker on it.
