Through a Glass Darkly [Såsom i en spegel]

Stockholm: Svensk Filmindustri, 1961. Collection of 22 vintage double weight oversize reference photographs from the 1961 Swedish film. Stamps of DLS-Film Holland on the versos, and several with layout annotations in manuscript ink and pencil. Embossed censor blindstamp at the upper right corner of each photograph.

The first entry in Ingmar Bergman's legendary and highly personal "Faith" trilogy, winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. A young woman is released from a mental institution, and moves to an island where her family resides to recover. But she finds little solace, and no support from her father, her husband, or her brother. A landmark film, in that it is not so much an examination into mental illness as a glimpse into a private world, seen through a mind that has departed day to day concerns.

9.25 x 11.75 inches. About Very Good plus, with pinholes at the corners and light edgewear.

Criterion Collection 209. Ebert III.
