Marking Ingmar Bergman's debut as screenwriter and directed by Alf
Sjöberg, this expressionistic crime of passion revolves around a
young student, Jan-Erik (Alf Kjellin), his sadistic Latin teacher,
nicknamed 'Caligula' (Stig Järrel), and a newsagent
assistant-cum-prostitute, Bertha (Mai Zetterling). When Jan-Erik
assists the drunken Bertha, he becomes her lover. Bertha is,
however, terrified of another man, whom it becomes clear is
terrorising her. When Jan-Erik finds Bertha dead, he accuses
Caligula of being responsible. The themes of creaticity, mentors
and oppressive authority, which would become Bergman's trademarks,
are staked out in this semi-autobiographical work.

Bergman.

her estranged husband, the Professor finds himself the subject of

own coldness, and the possibility that his life has been wasted.
