Interesting beginning sequence of shots. However, I don’t understand what makes that so “cool” among film critics. What defines talent in that area? I think I could put together a series of random images (or those which convey a common theme) just as interestingly as Bergman did, if not more interesting.

The general plot was that of Single White Female. The mute character was amazing. It’s incredible how much feeling it is possible to convey with eyes alone (see The Man Who Laughs). And I liked the vampirical wrist-sucking.
