Sweden | Subtitles
Ingmar Bergman’s psychological masterpiece is showing alongside ‘Bergman Island’, both films set on Fårö where the director kept a house drawn by the magnificent isolation and bleak landscapes.

In Detail

Famed stage stress Elisabeth Vogler (Liv Ullmann) suffers a moment of blankness during a performance and the next day lapses into total silence.

Advised by her doctor to take time off to recover from what appears to be an emotional breakdown, Elisabeth goes to a beach house on the Baltic Sea with only Anna (Bibi Andersson), a nurse, as company.

Over the next several weeks, as Anna struggles to reach her mute patient, the two women find themselves experiencing a strange emotional convergence.

This is an extraordinary and tantalising film fully deserving of classic status.
