This film, which is also screened on January 9th, 18th and 20th, is part of the Ingmar Bergman season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
Time Out review:
Now about these women... Mother (concert pianist Bergman) and daughter (parson's wife Ullmann) come face to face after seven years to touch, cry and whisper - and to confront and confess - in an atmosphere pregnant with death and disease, shame and silence. Routine obsessions, routine hysteria; maybe even a routine masterpiece. Of course Bergman's actresses suffer superbly in microscopic close-up, but the nagging doubt persists as to whether this is incisive psychodrama or just those old nordic blues again.
Paul Taylor
