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.

Ullmann and Bergman's "Faithless" is a glorious coda to one of world cinema's greatest collaborations.

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
