The Visit - 1964 * * *

Hell Hath no fury...

I remember briefly at university studying this play but I didn't really understand it then. I still don't entirely understand it but think the film-makers did a pretty amazing job of it anyway. Bergman is still beautiful even now in the 60s and puts her all into this tale of corruption and society values.

Clara arrives back at a town she once knew very well a long time ago. Everyone remembers her and she in turn is particularly happy to see certain people. Or is she? Before long the past has collided with the present and the village is looking at a murder charge which hasn't happened yet.

Watch this.
