Mai Zetterling’s second feature is a blazing psychosexual odyssey with heaving Freudian flourishes. On the eve of his marriage to his fiancée (Lena Brundin), Jan (Keve Hjelm) returns to his childhood home—a sprawling estate stuffed with antiques—where he relives his memories of his beautiful, decadent, mercurial mother (Ingrid Thulin) and finds himself forced to confront his unresolved Oedipal longings.
New 2K digital restoration. Disc includes “Maybe I Really Am A Sorceress,” a 1989 documentary on Mai Zetterling, and Swedish television footage from the production and premiere of the film.
