Synopsis
Ingmar Bergman's powerful examination of the human soul has lost none of its punch, as it returns to cinemas UK-wide from 1 April 2022 to mark its 50th anniversary.
In Bergman’s most resonant study of familial bonds, solitude, suffering and the female psyche, a dying woman is attended to in her rural mansion by her sisters and her maid.
The remarkable saturated colour scheme transcends mere recreation of early 20th-century furnishings and costumes, and performed to perfection, the film is an examination of the human soul.
