Grossly underrated

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2009)

Given the title, you might think I wrote this just to praise the creation.
Well it's not just that. One has to say the film is very theatrical, but that makes every scene a painting in itself, and the camera angles and the empty scenery is there to emphasize the messages.
The fact that the movie was heavily influenced by the transcript of the actual events, can be seen in small details which today may not be in the knowledge of the public, or at least were not known to me.
From my experience in movie arrangements, not many directors have managed to use the scene as good, better for this can surely be named a number of Russians and Nippons, but not the mainstream Western directors, with the mention of Bergman.
This is a movie to be seen, for the power it transmits the message without words, and might have lost that power if sound was present.
