Review of Winter Light (1963) by Vincent G — 16 Apr 2014
The second feature of the so called 'bergman's trilogy', Winter light was released in 1962 and directed by one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Winter light (NATTVARDSGASTERNA) is one of many bergman/nykvist collaborations (Bergman's all time favorite cinematographer sven nykvist), as well, Winter light has been an influence in narrative, the best example is Ingrid thulin's (marta lundberg) solo scene reading a letter, that scene has been an all time imitated sequence.
Winter light was bergman's favorite film for many reasons: his father was a pastor and bergman's religious touch is all over the film, and he identified himself with Gunnar bjornstrand's character (pastor Tomas ericsson).
