Caught this recently on TCM and was glad I saw it.

It is a gripping film dealing with a beautiful woman's realization that she has never really been lover and questions whether she has ever really been in love.

The film is quite slow moving and there is an awful lot of dialog. Many times you need to rewind to read the subtitles. Yet the slowness goes along with the main character's personality. The film captures you into its lilting rhythm and you are transported to Denmark in what must have been the late 1800s.

Fopr those old enough to remember how people decorated in the 1960 using "Danish modern", it is a camp to catch those accessories in the furnishings of most scenes.
