Director: Liv Ullmann Country: Sweden/Italy/GermanyCert: 15 Year: 2000 Length: 165 minsLanguage: Swedish/French
Synopsis
Scripted by Ingmar Bergman, directed by his erstwhile leading lady (and lover) Liv Ullman: who better to portray the anguish, cruelty and guilt of an extramarital affair? Veering between her orchestra-conductor husband and film-director friend (an echo of Bergman's past), Marianne, superbly played by Lena Endre, threatens everyone, including, harrowingly, her young daughter.
Critics
Ullmann and Bergman's "Faithless" is a glorious coda to one of world cinema's greatest collaborations.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
A mesmerizing deconstruction of the brute nature of love
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The kind of picture that many of us, at our moral best, most want to see...You'll not see a better acted movie this year
Philip French, Observer.
