A sociological portrait of a Scandinavian island called Faro, off the coast of Gotland in southeastern Sweden. Bergman was fascinated by the extremes in climate, which make the island unbearably cold and practically unlivable during the winter but quite mild and pleasant in the summer. (allmovie.com)

A more active documentary than part 1, as Bergman follows people working around the island, letting his camera man loose even more, lingering more on the (supposed) everyday when they're not being interviewed by a famous film maker.

Portrait of a way of life on a small island and its encounter with social democracy and the effects of the tourist industry. Four decades later, it's not hard to guess how much of that way of life remains intact. Note that there is an animal-killing scene that will be difficult for some viewers.

I love seeing faraway places that I will probably never go to and seeing them through the lens of a auteur. I've been interested in Skandinavia for some time now and this look at this small island off the coast of Gotland was very interesting. It is a time capsule of this time in Sweden. Bergman spends quite a bit of time talking about how socialism will change the lives of these people for the better. He speaks with some unique characters which make for some good storytelling.

The film has a rambling quality. We get to see farmers at work, a local poet, a family whose house burned down, a funeral, a hog being butchered, fishermen, a roof being thatched, people bitching about government bureaucracy and tourism, et cetera. It's somewhat interesting, but also a bit mundane. There's a feeling that Bergman is scrambling for material to fill time. A mildly engaging look at the unique problems and lifestyles of a small, isolated community, but kind of bland for my tastes.
