Perhaps more significant than the film's preoccupation with the problems of communication and concomitant alienation is the step it may mark in Bergman's intellectual development.

Like the cartoon creatures of Jules Feiffer, they fear nothing so much as loneliness; they long to make human contact. But when they plunge together, each touch inevitably is anguish...
