The second of Ingmar Bergman´s trilogy on faith, Winter Light springs from Bergman´s desire to define man´s relation to God - if He exists. A village pastor, unloved and empty of faith, reveals his bitter failure to offer spiritual consolation to his flock. Sombre and poignant, the film sketches a world of half empty churches - but a world not entirely without hope in God´s universe. Tormented by doubts about his own faith and tempted by an offer of marriage from schoolteacher Ingrid Thulin, pastor Gunnar Bjornstrand is also aware of the duty he owes to parishioner Max von Sydow, who is contemplating suicide in the face of a nuclear crisis. Composed for the most part in close-ups, Bergman's film is a powerful and pessimistic look at God's relationship with humanity, but, in spite of exceptional performances, it won't be for all tastes. 4 STARS OUT OF 5 Winter Light Ingmar Bergman Buy UK Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2001] Actors: Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Björnstrand, Gunnel Lindblom, Max von Sydow, Allan Edwall Director: Ingmar Bergman Format: Black & White, PAL Language: Swedish Region: All Regions Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Number of discs: 1 Classification: PG Studio: Tartan Video DVD Release Date: 19 Nov 2001 Run Time: 77 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: Swedish Available Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Sub Titles: English Disc Format: DVD 5 Star And Director Filmographies Scene Selection Philip Strick Film Notes Extract From Bergmans Book Images My Life In Film The Bergman Collection Trailer Price: £17.99 (UK Sterling) / $ 37.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Also available: amazon.co.uk | amazon.com Movie Review Ingmar Bergman ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth ingmar bergman dvds ingmar bergman videos ingmar bergman dvds | videos al pacino | michelle pfeiffer yul brynner | christopher plummer | romy schneider the godfather | the godfather part ii marlon brando | james caan | diane keaton | al pacino laurence olivier | clark gable | vivien leigh | leslie howard | alfred hitchcock | robert montgomery | grace kelly olivia de havilland | humphrey bogart | howard hawks | frank capra | charlie chaplin | lauren bacall | fritz lang jean harlow | greta garbo | ava gardner | audrey hepburn | edward g. robinson | john garfield erich von stroheim | wim wenders | madeleine carroll | marlene dietrich | rita hayworth Page created by: lenin@netcomuk.co.uk Changes last made: 2007
