Through a Glass Darkly
Såsom i en spegel
The first part of Bergman’s thematically linked ‘trilogy of faith’ sees the director abandon the expressionism of his ‘50s work to focus on a series of character-focused dramas exploring belief and alienation in the modern age. It is also his first film shot on the island of Fårö, a place with which he will be forever associated. Winner of the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, the film follows a schizophrenic young woman (Harriet Andersson) vacationing on a remote island with her husband (Max von Sydow), novelist father (Gunnar Björnstrand), and frustrated younger brother (Lars Passgård).
