Face to Face

Jdsarmientoburgos

Bergman made so many great films that it’s easy to overlook a few of his later gems, and Face to Face is an excellent psychological terror about a mentally ill psychologist. Liv Ullman’s exquisite plunge into madness is all one can ask for.

So scary. It had me in panic for most part and tore my heart apart at the end, I see the same in my grandparents.

Bergman is a virtuose and Liv his muse. The only things that you can do are to sit down and to cry.

Daniella

Very similar in style and directing to The Hour of the Wolf, this Bergman piece haunts and taunts you till the very end. By far one of best performances delivered by Liv Ullman.

Disturbingly hypnotic. Liv Ullmann at her best.

Duncan Gray

Through no (well, partial) fault of his own, Bergman's dream sequences now feel like film school cliches. Far more unshakeable in this stew of sexual angst—closeted frigidity tenderly meets closeted gayness—are the raw human emotions: Ullmann's outbursts feel frighteningly involuntary. Trauma, stopped clocks, and the line that unlocks it all: life's two great pains are insanity and the cure. Strangely therapeutic.

(3.5) I actually watched the original 4 episode Swedish TV version this time which is forty minutes longer than the theatrical version with different or extended scenes, the correct aspect ratio, but terrible picture quality (it's on YouTube)! I can't really say the TV was better than the film, I need to do a proper comparison at a later date.

A Bergman psychological fantasy and also the movie that Woody Allen and Diane Keaton are supposed to watch in Annie Hall.
