“God, why hast thou forsaken me?” With Winter Light, Ingmar Bergman explores the search for redemption in a meaningless existence. Small-town pastor Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Björnstrand) performs his duties mechanically before a dwindling congregation, including his stubbornly devoted lover, Märta (Ingrid Thulin). When he is asked to assuage a troubled parishioner’s (Max von Sydow) debilitating fear of nuclear annihilation, Tomas is terrified to find that he can provide nothing but his own doubt. The beautifully photographed Winter Light is an unsettling look at the human craving for personal validation in a world seemingly abandoned by God.

Winter Light
Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, and The Silence are presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.37:1. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. These new 2K digital restorations were undertaken by the Swedish Film Institute. New digital transfers were created on a Scanity film scanner from the 35 mm original camera negative of Winter Light and 35 mm interpositives of Through a Glass Darkly and The Silence. The original monaural soundtracks were remastered from the 35 mm optical tracks.
