While directed by Liv Ullman, Faithless looks and feels like a Bergman(who took on the writer role) film, and I mean that as a compliment. Faithless is beautifully shot and looks evocative, very like Bergman actually. Ullman, as she also did with Private Confessions, proves that she is every bit as good as a director as she is an actress. The story is deliberately paced and also intelligent and poignant in both the storytelling and how the themes are incorporated, and Bergman writes one of his more personal and insightful scripts. The characters as always with Bergman are compellingly real and sharply observed, and the nuanced and pitch-perfect performances of Erland Josephson and Lena Endre only adds to that.
Overall, a wonderful film. Not one of my favourite Bergman films, but one of his best later films. 10/10 Bethany Cox
