A strange film with a certain weirdnes that cycles between periods of heightened fascination and introspective periods of observation where nothing much happens. Keep in mind that this movie is filmed in black and white with subtitles. The photography itself is quite interesting, as is the myriad of odd/lovable characters that populate the plot. In essence, a Swedish "Scrooge-like" story where an elderly man reminisces and feels deep regret as he contemplates his past. Worth seeing.
