Review of Port of Call (1948) by Hossein N — 29 Dec 2010
Oct 2010 - This is an early attempt by Bergman to show the ups and downs of a troubled relationship. Characters engulfed by their pasts have to reach an understanding that keeps them together. The death of Gertrud seems to provide such a possibility.
Bergman's portrayal of the psychological tension is something that reminds one of his masterpieces later but here they remain raw. Among all these I liked the scene were we experience the pain that Gertrud goes through and how it touches other major characters of the movie.
