Whatever happens from there on is entirely up to you to guess. The director's [[Shrug of God|lack of explanation]] does not help. However, it is still regarded as one of the best movies by Ingmar Bergman.

{{tropelist}}
==This film provides examples of:==
* [[All Psychology Is Freudian]]: Averted--as the title suggests, psychology in this film is primarily based on Jung's ideas, which the viewer is [[Viewers Are Geniuses|apparently expected to know all about]].
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Ooooh boy. Let's see...
Line 22:
* [[Les Yay]]: Complete with [[Alternate Character Interpretation|possible]] [[Selfcest]]!
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Alma, which is Spanish and Portuguese for "soul".
* [[Melting Film Effect]]: If not the [[Trope Maker]] then the [[Trope Codifier]]; at a key point in the relationship between Elisabet and Alma, the film appears to glitch, break, and then melt, which is evidently symbolic of... something, possibly the merger/fusion of Elsabet and Alma's identities.
* '''''[[Mind Screw]]'''''
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: The director reminds us several times, through a few [[Mind Screw|weird]] sequences, that this is only a movie.
* [[Squick]]: The description of the menage a quatre. [[Fetish Fuel]] for [[Roger Ebert|some]].
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]
* [[The Voiceless]]: Elisabet.
** [[Suddenly Voiced]]: On three instances, though it [[Mind Screw|may not have happened]].
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]
