Drama
A sensitive exploration of the tragic irony of the psychiatrist suffering with mental illness. Dr. Jenny Isaksson (Liv Ullman) is a psychiatrist married to another psychiatrist; both are successful in their jobs but slowly, agonizingly, she succumbs to a breakdown. Jenny is haunted by images and emotions from her past and eventually cannot function, either as a wife, a doctor or as an individual.

"Laugh if you like, but check your dreams over the next few weeks after seeing it and you'll find fragments of this film corroding your conscience." | POS |

"Bergman is more mysterious, more haunting, more contradictory than ever, though the style of the film has never been more precise, clear, levelheaded." | POS |

"Ingmar Bergman at his most painful, pretentious, and empty. (...) Thankfully, this torture machine runs for only 136 minutes" | NEG |

"Ullmann makes "Face to Face" a necessity for any serious filmgoer - we haven't seen such psychic depths on the screen since her debut in Bergman's 'Persona' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
