Description
[Machine Translation] Ingmar Bergman, one of the greatest masters of Scandinavian cinema, is now available on DVD in a digitally remastered edition of his world-heritage masterpieces. Along with "As if in a Mirror" and "Silence", Bergman created the "Silence of God" trilogy. The film is strongly autobiographical in nature, and depicts "The Absence of God" through the anguish of a pastor who has doubts about his faith. In the story, a man commits suicide out of fear of the apocalypse after learning of China's nuclear development in the newspapers. The protagonist, a pastor, can do nothing but pray. Why does God remain silent? The fine light that changes over time in the church is beautifully rendered by cinematographer Sven Nyqvist. Many consider this film to be Bergman's masterpiece as it is the fruition of the themes he pursued. This is truly a masterpiece by Bergman. --Tomas, a pastor in a small Swedish fishing village, is in the depths of despair after the death of his beloved wife.
