Victor Sjöström is magnificent as the crabby professor taking a nostalgic road trip with his daughter-in-law.
One of Bergman’s warmest films, this boasts a magnificent performance by Sjöström as the ageing, grouchy academic driving to Lund to accept an award; the trip also traverses memories, reveries and illuminating encounters with family members and strangers alike.
