Plot
A married couple travelling by train through post-war Germany look back on their troubled marriage.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ingmar Bergman's early film follows a couple on a train through postwar Germany, remembering their failed marriage in flashbacks. Dark, tense and sometimes melodramatic, it is an uneven but frank early study of fear and fidelity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
