Now I know where Ingmar Bergman got his idea of a theatrical caravan for the seventh seal.—A French commentator on the DVD mentioned the sex-identity theme in this movie. Honestly I hadn't noticed. It seems very gentle by today's standards. Or maybe that's what I actually loved: the fact that Sylvia isn't the typical femme fatale or submissive wife. According to Michael, she's a "clumsy, impetuous, generous, warmhearted fool". He adds that "[she's] everything that's fresh and lovely and sweet and brave and good". Can't beat these as sincere and meaningful compliments. Quite a change from the usual shortsighted: "You're beautiful." The men are not womanizers either. In fact the man-woman relationships are perfectly balanced, unlike most movies. They notice each other, they feel that something is strange, then their feeling grows on them. Think about it: this scenario is rare. Modern cinema made love something that appears instantly on the *only* basis of beauty. If this ain't shallow...
