Puritanical religion meets hedonistic epicureanism in a typical Scandinavian story that leaves everything unresolved. The cinematography is outstanding. Vegans should skip this many course feast.

A favorite of mine. The quiet humor is excellent.

A wonderful quiet film filled with warmth and love -not to mention the detailed creation of the feast leaves one's mouth watering!
