Plot
A nurse looking after a silent actress finds their identities beginning to merge.
Sinekatalog’s take
Bergman's experimental drama traps a nurse and a mute actress in a seaside house until their identities blur. Short and fragmentary, with startling images, it is one of the most analysed films ever.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
