When actress Elizabeth Vogler (Liv Ullmann) is struck dumb by a mysterious ailment, she’s placed into the care of chatterbox nurse Alma (Bibi Andersson) at a remote cottage on the island of Faro. A curious transference of personalities ensues in this remarkable two-hander from 1966, which established the female face in close-up as an Ingmar Bergman signature.
It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s Celebrating Ingmar Bergman season marking the centenary of the great Swedish director’s birth.
