"You can freeze almost any frame of this film and be looking at a striking still photograph." - Film Critic Roger Ebert. 

This film is Bergman's study of a world without love: Karin slides inexorably into madness, losing her hold on the world, as she is trapped in a male world of repressed feelings.

REVIEWS

"Through a Glass Darkly is one of the best and certainly the ripest of Ingmar Bergman's creations, a film as subtle as Wild Strawberries but solider in substance." - TIME MAGAZINE

"It is almost superfluous to note that the film is beautifully made: visually exquisite, ingeniously knit." - THE NEW REPUBLIC

"Elaborately rhetorical at the end, this 1961 film nevertheless develops its theme lucidly and with some of Bergman's most unforgettable sequences." - CHICAGO READER

"Not a pleasant film, it is a great one." - VARIETY

"Bergman's mastery with actors (there is absolutely never a bad performance in a single one of his films) and with the cinematic form (using space and mood to communicate his theme) is abundantly clear here." - CINEMA WRITER
