A Passion is better than both. But I was mainly referring to Through A Glass, Darkly, probably his worst film of the 60s, although not a bad film, just a mediocre one w a bit too obvious symbolism and a tad melodramatic.

I watched the film last night and wasn't really sure what to make of it. Some of what you've outlined has helped to clear up some of the questions that I had. I'm curious though. To what earlier "more famous" Bergman films do you refer to when you say that they weren't as successful at accomplishing their goals? Of his earlier work, I've only seen "The Seventh Seal" and "Wild Strawberries," but I thought that both of those, with particular regard to the former, were excellent.

A truly magnificent work in the late 60's that only very few -like Mr Schneider here- are capable to appreciate. This is one of the best reviews I’ve read regarding Bergman’s A Passion.
