Sinekatalog’s take
Ingmar Bergman's early film follows a director told a story about a young prostitute, in a bleak reflection on hell on earth. Doris Svedlund is striking in a raw, experimental, pessimistic drama that already shows his ambition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
