| Brief Description: | Ingmar Bergman's anguished, searing examination of the lust, envy,
betrayal, love and self-mutilation that passes between four
women--three sisters and a family provider--in this sculpted,
metaphysical drama. "Bergman uses the women as metaphors for humanity,
representing how we respond to anxiety, death, and the visitations of
what appears to be a wrathful rather than benevolent God" (James
Monaco). With Harriet Andersson, Ingrid Thulin and Liv Ullmann.
Cinematography by Sven Nykvist. Swedish with English subtitles. |
