Synopsis

In the early 1960's, Ingmar Bergman created a trilogy of emotional dramas that examined faith and alienation in the modern age, typified by minimal dialogue, isolated settings and stunning performances. Through the Glass Darkly (1961, 91 mins.) is a powerful psychological study of a young woman''s descent into madness. Harriet Andersson plays Karin, who has read that she is an incurable schizophrenic and plunges into a visionary world where God is a spider. Winter Light (1962, 80 mins.) features Max Von Sydow as a village pastor, empty of faith and desperately unloved, who reveals his bitte r failure to offer spiritual consolation to his flock. The final film, The Silence (1963, 95 mins.), deals with two women who are stranded in a remo te village where the language is incomprehensible. As one of the women slowly slips into death, the other engages the local barman in a frenzied sexual encounter. Also included is the fascinating documentary Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie (Vilgot Sjoman, 1962, 145 mins.), a comprehensive producti on on the making of Winter Light, by the director of I Am Ingmar Bergman/Vilgot Sjoman---Sweden---1961-63---411 mins.
