Faithless on DVD (2001)

Radio Times
Given the history between director Liv Ullmann and screenwriter Ingmar Bergman, it's tempting to speculate on the autobiographical content of this intense study of infidelity and inspiration. Vaguely echoing Bergman's 1973 drama Scenes from a Marriage, it explores the impact of Lena Endre's affair with director Krister Henriksson on both her conductor husband, Thomas Hanzon, and their young daughter. Further blurring the line between fiction and reality, Bergman has Endre relate her story to Erland Josephson, a blocked scenarist whose relationship to the flashback events is never clarified. This is complex, mature and engrossing cinema from a master artist and his remarkable protégée. Los Angeles Times "...As luminous as it is shattering, FAITHLESS is complex, challenging and richly rewarding, and it glows with the kind of wrenchingly selfless portrayals that are the hallmark of the Bergman classics..." New York Times "...More than just a reverent homage to [Ingmar Bergman]....The [film's] mystery is deepened by [its] extraordinary central performances..." Members ReviewsReviews Voted Most Helpful |
