Review by Library Journal Review

A renowned actress (Liv Ullmann), who turns mysteriously mute from an apparent breakdown, merges personalities with the nurse (Bibi Andersson) caring for her. Calling attention to film as the medium used to tell his story, Ingmar Bergman offers his most enigmatic and stylistically daring work-an exploration of illusion that is open to interpretation. Pictorially superior to the decade-old MGM disc, Criterion's digital makeover of this classic film adds several appealing extras to pique the interest of Bergman aficionados.
