Already a figure of international acclaim for such masterpieces as The Seventh Seal and The Magician, Bergman turned his back on the Expressionism of his 1950s work to focus on a series of chamber dramas exploring distinguished Sven Nykvist, and evoking searing performances from his refined cast, Bergman unleashed Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, and The Silence in rapid succession, exposing moviegoers worldwide to a new level of intellectual and emotional intensity. Drawing on Bergman's own upbringing and ongoing spiritual crises, the films of the trilogy examine the necessity of religion and question the promise of faith.
