The film premiered on April 6, 1951 at the 1951 Cannes International Film Festival . In Germany, the film was first seen at the 1951 Berlinale , where it was shown outside of the competition.
Reviews
"Strindberg's agonizing psychological drama was carefully and cleverly translated into film language by Sjöberg, which makes the actions of the people evident through the artful optical inclusion of the prehistory."
Awards
