The Swede

Through a Glass Darkly (1961)

Ingmar Bergman directs this Swedish language film which stars Harriet Andersson and Max von Sydow. Twenty four hours with a crazy Swedish woman, her husband, brother and farther in a cottage by the sea.

This film is supposed to be about faith and God but I am not really sure it goes into the subject in any depth or offers any original thought on the matter. The acting and direction are good enough but the script feels fairly thin to me. I also think that the main characters madness could have been a better subject for a film and how it affects those around her.

3/5
