Experimental Masterpiece from the Magician Himself
An experimental Bergman film which proves that the man could excell in any given genre. Liv Ullman plays an actress who refuses to talk after a performance of "Elektra". She moves to the country accompanied by a young nurse, played by Bibi Andersson. During their stay, the two women almost become one with the other. The film is very erotic and tastefully shot by Sven Nykvist. The story, though simplistic on the surface, emerges as a detailed study of female bonding and its often devastating results.
