Surströmming is considered a delicacy, and the smelliest, stinkiest canned fish in all of Sweden. And in a country known for its obcession with canned food and stinky fish culinary atrocities, that's really saying something!

An absolutely magical film so full of memorable scenes and characters. Criterion has the best US version, including the uncut five-hour version aired on Swedish TV as well as the movie theater version, in original Swedish and dubbed, and a one-hour Making of documentary by Bergman.
( “The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good. It is necessary and not at all shameful to take pleasure in the little world.” )

"Almost invisible! The lightest and thinnest underwears so far. Super styled with built-in boost for masculine taste in light, almost transparant nylon tricot - almost nothing. For the man who wish to be different. Black, white or skin-colored in all sizes."
