If You Go Down to the Woods Today...

... (in 14th century Sweden) and were naïvely happy, beautiful and endearing and a little bit gay, the chances are you'll come a cropper, as rogues and fiends uncork your stopper (amongst other dastardly deeds).

A tragic tale unfolds over a day or so, with emotions bouncing off the thatch and hearts and minds broken and dispatched. Great film making accentuating sublime performances through a story of despair and disillusion.

Max von Sydow is, once again, out of this world and Gunnel Lindblom's pretty impressive too, in a tale not written by the director but transpires to be one of his absolute best.
