Our take

Three years after Scenes from a Marriage, Ingmar Bergman reunites stars Erland Josephson and (an extraordinary and eventually Academy Award®-nominated) Liv Ullmann for this character study. Instead of dividing its attention, the film centers solely on Ullmann’s protagonist. An unabashed triumph.
