Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Anyone who thought Robert Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest was the most agonising portrait of clerical life should tune in for this second part of Ingmar Bergman's "religious" trilogy. Tormented by doubts about his own faith and tempted by an offer of marriage from schoolteacher Ingrid Thulin, pastor Gunnar Björnstrand is also aware of the duty he owes to parishioner Max von Sydow, who is contemplating suicide in the face of a nuclear crisis. Composed for the most part in close-ups, this is a powerful and pessimistic look at God's relationship with humanity, but, in spite of exceptional performances, it won't be for all tastes.
