Die besten Absichten

A three-hour film about Ingmar Bergman's parents? Someone was feeling confident. Henrik, a poor theology student, meets Anna, a wealthy woman, and they marry despite their differences. Marital stress ensues when Anna finds country life isn't for her. It did win the Palme d'Or, so someone liked it.
