Bo Widerberg reached new heights of visual lyricism with this art-house sensation, a sublime retelling of a real-life nineteenth-century romantic tragedy starring Pia Degermark and Tommy Berggren. Bound by their all-consuming desire, a young circus performer and a married lieutenant forsake everything to be together—only to see their lovers’ idyll gradually give way to poverty and desperation.
