This is THE first time Bergman, after experimenting with the paragraph structure of THE RITE, has passed through a kind of ring-nonlinear narrative, and the content is so simple and easy to understand in such a fragmented narrative (compared to Bergman's other big boring films, such a spiritual over marriage and love genre is easier to understand).
Peter and Katharina are obviously the best confirmation of domestic abusers, from the oral testimony of psychiatrists, his early years of being controlled by his mother made him mistakenly think that "hurt is love", in order to prove that he was full of love from childhood, he had to perform domestic violence again and again, and finally when the prostitute gave him love, he faced his own never imagined real love. Suddenly his life history is overturned, everything is reconstructed, but he can not accept it and immediately kill her, and xx to make such violence into a symbol of love.
Peter is the puppet of love, he needs to maintain such a wrong structure of love, purple sand is this mistake and the operation of the system generated by the dregs are drunk and collapsed
Under such spiritual themes, the revealed marriage and love is still Bergman's flavor, the most directorial point: "I will sit on the floor" (maintain the composition.
