This was done late in his career and stands with the best of his work. The focus is on a family but their trials have been harsher than in his earlier films. We deal with abandonment, abortion, divorce...and the emotional consequences are ramped up as well. Half the film takes place in public houses and the tinkly music acts as a fine counterpoint to the drama.
All seasoned players and a great director at the top of his game. Another classic.
