    I'm not familiar with Ingmar Bergman's movies. I have not seen any of his movies till Faithless. I know it was directed by Liv Ulman...( read more)n but written by Bergman. My friend told me, you will recognize Bergman's themes in almost all his movies.The movie showed an old man, representing Bergman,writing a new script for a movie. A lady accompanies him, telling him everything about her life, as a married woman, betraying her husband with his best friend and the consequences of her actions. The script seemed predictable, but was really surprising.I It was just something different for me but unbelievably good.

    Liv Ullman actriz fabvorita del maestro Ingmar Bergman ahora le dirige un guión que desmenusa el tórrido mundo de la infidelidad, elementos psicolófgicos muy marcados.

Bergman, rare among artists these days, still believes in human complexity and value. He believes that what people do matters. full review

Ullmann has a sure sense for the ways people behave in emotional extremity. full review
