works by great artists. I never paid a lot of attention, before, to the visit to the professor's mother, nor the bizarre sleep-images of his medical "test." Along with the VERY different Antonioni, Bergman dissected modern post-WWII society with precision, but also with enough mystery to leave the viewer many interesting moments after the viewing during which to discuss the meanings. Bergman, for all his seeming Nordic coldness, is a warmer artist than Antonioni; in this film, the old man has but a veneer of coldness: he has been damned with formidable reticence and shyness, not a dislike of intimacy, per se. Pauline Kael had some strong reservations about the film, many of which I share, but I think it's considerable faults are overwhelmed by the power of the human comedy laid bare.
