Reminds me of early Bergman. I enjoyed this overall but I didn’t love it. The characters were lacking the initial depth needed to cater the emotional weight it tries for. The story unfolds in segments, skipping years at a time and while I think that would have worked just fine if there had been more time spent with these characters initially, and maybe really seeing why they fall for each other in the first place, but as is it just felt a little flat on an emotional front for me. Not bad by any means and it’s a treat to look at and the music and dance numbers showcased are always very engaging. Maybe I’m missing the point and the lack of characterization is because that wasn’t really the point of this film but that’s what I got out of it.
