Things had been going so well. After the cornucopia of caricatured copulation in the last entry, I thought maybe there might be a run of cheerful stories and images, puppies and kittens and suchlike. But then the Master of Gloom ups and dies on us. Well, at least this is a still from one of his more cheerful movies. Although if you follow the link, you'll notice that the plot keywords are: Young Wife; Sweden; Maid; Suicide Attempt; Adultery; Country House; Farce; Nobleman; Societal Hypocrisy; Moral Hypocrisy; Russian Roulette; Aristocracy; Costume Drama; Housemaid; Law; Mistress; Officer. Which doesn't promise to be a bundle of laughs.
