NotesB/W. The story of two sisters during their stay at a hotel in an unnamed North European city, probably in Sweden since the trains run on continuous tracks (i.e. without the clickety click unusual at the time). But we're kept in the dark about a lot of things. An impressive film to see when you're young and love those films that have a mysterious, intellectual tone. Even so this is a very interesting film and Bergman is a master at conveying the mental state of his characters. The Eduardini are a group of 7 dwarfs managed by Eduardo Gutierrez.
