Movies: Ingmar Bergman’s “Through a Glass Darkly” and “Winter Light”

Oct. 7, 1961 - Sweden's Ingmar Bergman was on both the screen and soundstages in Stockholm last week. While his latest somber drama, "Through a Glass Darkly," with Harriet Andersson playing a schizophrenic, was being evaluated by Scandinavian critics, the brooding director was at work on still another of his tortured cinematic quests for faith. The current work, "Winter Light," covers 12 hours in the life of a small-town pastor, Gunnar Bjornstrand (pictured left), who is unable to aid a fisherman (Max Von Sydow, right) and his wife when they confront him with their fears about the atomic bomb.
