    The Fifth Seal

    ★★★★

    I do fathom the proposed motives of the film and have thought about my answer as well for a good while afterwards, although it is necessary to mention that the absolution exposed in the question is rarely the case in reality but is almost always an impure blend somewhere in between the embrace of a spectrum connecting the two;

    Breaking the Waves

    ★★★

    ★★★★½

    I simply cherish Ozu’s ways of enshrining the Japanese way of living within his movies, 
    progressively weaved amorphousness rapidly taking over as if surfaced wistful senses root brutally inside whilst they linger،
     immensely desolate and haunting to the very verge of tears
    Amazing soundtrack 
    some emotional complexities reminded me of Bergman a tiny bit
