Three films forming a thematic trilogy by the renowned Ingmar Bergman, collected for the first time on DVD, and packaged in a beautiful collectors pack a la the Almodovar and Three Colours releases. Extras are being sourced from the Criterion Collection, making these films a must for any arthouse/foreign film fans.The overwhelmingly chilling beauty of Through A Glass Darkly won the 1962 Oscar for Best Foreign Film and was nominated for a spate of other prestigious industry awards. The first in Bergman's Faith Trilogy, the film is a perfect precursor of religious and self exploration to his subsequent efforts.Considered to be the most spiritually void and bleakest exploration of faith of the Bergman Faith Trilogy, Winter Light portrays unequivocally the cinematic flair that has firmly cemented Bergman's films within the filmic canon. Minimalist in nearly every aspect yet conveying unsurpassed beauty and emotion, this moving tale plays out like a Shakespearian theatrical full of suffering and uncertainty, yet possessive of a latent warmth which carries through to its characteristically ambiguous conclusion.Effortlessly and nihilistically addressing issues of faith, communication, spirituality and loneliness, Ingmar Bergman's 1963 masterpiece The Silence is a bleak offering of self-exploration and the search for purpose where it seemingly does not exist.
