for the average viewer and this movie will no doubt be very confusing and a bit silly . however and for those who adore bergman film and it will be greatly appreciate . although i have see quite a few bergman film and i be not a huge fan . while i can appreciate many of his film and sometimes i feel he be just too depressing or angst ridden to watch . this film and in fact and might just be my least favorite film he do it a close call between this film and persona . hour of the wolf be a very surreal film and i think it be deliberately make to be very confusing a to exactly what be occur be max von sydow character a schizophrenic or be there demon or monster on this island equal equal it very hard to tell . frankly and i find myself not really care . in addition to many confuse story element and you do get to see an old lady pull off her face and put an eye into a glass of water . this isn not really as gross a it sound . also and a man walk up a wall and stand on the ceiling and another guy sprout gigantic wing . all this be reminiscent of a painting by bosch or dali .
