Our take

You know Ingmar Bergman—but do you know Mai Zetterling? A Swedish actress, Zetterling leapt to directing with this rebellious, controversial debut, an examination of sex so frank that it got her booted from Cannes! Starring Bergman muse Harriet Andersson and shot by the legendary Sven Nykvist.
