My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Passion of Anna (1970)

Another ground braking film from Ingmar Bergman.  While not his best, it still stands up as a work of fine drama with strong performances from everyone involved.   Andreas, played by the legendary Max Von Sydow, is a private man who becomes involved with Anna, played by Liv Ullmann, a friend of his neighbors, the Vergerus.   Their relationship soon desolves and its how it unravels that's so impressive.  There's also subplots based on Andreas' friendship with the Vergerus played by Bibi Andersson and Erland Josephson .  Grade: B+
