(VISKNINGAR OCH ROP, Ingmar Bergman, Sweden 1973, 106 min., Swedish with subtitles, 35mm)

Bergman’s most acclaimed film from the ’70s is set in the manor of a dying woman (Harriett Andersson) whose sisters (Liv Ullmann and Ingrid Thulin) arrive to await her death. “This is Bergman at the artistic and emotional height of his considerable talent for getting inside the human psyche. The ticking clocks, the fades to red, the recreation of a pieta: it’s all deeply affecting”—Jack Garner.
