Plot
A village pastor suffering a crisis of faith struggles through one Sunday's services.
Sinekatalog’s take
A village pastor loses his faith over a single Sunday. Bergman's austere chamber drama is quiet, bleak and short, and it is one of the most direct explorations of doubt in cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
