Through a Glass Darkly
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Produced by SF Studios
A claustrophobic, psychologically penetrating study of mental illness and family dysfunction on an isolated island, where a woman's descent into schizophrenia exposes the emotional distance and inadequacy of those closest to her.
Karin hopes to recover from her recent stay at a mental hospital by spending the summer at her family's cottage on a tiny island. Her husband, Martin, cares for her but is frustrated by her physical withdrawal. Her younger brother, Minus, is confused by Karin's vulnerability and his own budding sexuality. Their father, David, cannot overcome his haughty remoteness. Beset by visions, Karin descends further into madness.
