...Marianne as she entered. Later there's a privileged moment when Karin is told of a career opportunity and the ecstasy of anticipation briefly floods her face, as radiant as that sunlit church. Bergman keeps energizing Saraband with such touchstones; he builds the edifice of the film on this latticework. And these superb actors - three veteran colleagues, one (Dufvenius) a newcomer in the great tradition of Bergman ingenues - give the characters sinew and subtlety...

Scattered about the structure are various objects useful in carnage (a chain saw, a huge mallet, a viciously shaped sword of superhuman dimensions).

They are catapulted into the dome's upper reaches, grabbing frantically for whatever weapon...
...ingenious thing about the Freedom Tower is how it manages to lay claim to being the tallest structure in the world without actually obliging anyone to work at its highest altitudes. Its offices stop at the 70th floor. Those are then topped by a tall "wind farm"--an unpeopled latticework of windmills that can provide as much as 20% of the building's electrical power. If the building is constructed as envisioned, rising from that will be a spire that reaches the record height...
