“THE SUMMIT OF BERGMAN’S CAREER. With uncomfortably intense close-ups, disorienting angles, harsh contrasts, and abrupt editing, along with dream imagery and fantasy sequences, he evokes his prime subject: the inner life, and, above all, his own turbulent visions.”
—The New Yorker
“Hardcore surrealism is rarely this enjoyable.”
—Little White Lies
“A film we return to over the years, for the beauty of its images and because we hope to understand its mysteries.”
—Roger Ebert
Ingmar Bergman’s spiritually and visually astonishing masterpiece tells a tale of dualities as a nurse caring for a famous and suddenly mute actress begins having trouble distinguishing herself from her patient. With Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann.
