'Best of World Cinema' is a library of recognised masterpieces by the world's great film makers. This collection of films is essential viewing for anyone seriously interested in the cinema. This stark, savage film depicts the terrible revenge a father wreaks on the murderers of his daughter. The rape scene, that so shocked audiences when the film first appeared, although direct, unmitigated, appalling, is nonetheless shot with discretion. Life in the Middle Ages is brilliantly evoked in images of compelling simplicity: one of Bergman's most moving films.
