Faithless

2000, Movie, 2h 34min

Scripted by Ingmar Bergman with the fearlessness of an artist taking stock of his life and masterfully directed one of his greatest collaborators, the actor Liv Ullmann, FAITHLESS is a wrenching, intensely psychological examination of infidelity in which the late Swedish auteur channels his personal demons into the character of “Bergman” (Erland Josephson), an aging director who summons the imaginary actress Marianne (an extraordinary Lena Endre) to help him write his latest script. With riveting emotional honesty, Marianne recounts the story of how she fell into an extramarital affair with a close family friend, a relationship that has devastating consequences not only for her and her husband, but their daughter as well.
