The Passion of Anna

Released 1969
Stars Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson, Erland Josephson
Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Stark drama, beautifully acted, about von Sydow, living alone on a barely populated island, and relationship with widow Ullmann, architect Josephson, and wife Andersson. Superior cinematography by Sven Nykvist. Original title was simply--and more accurately--A PASSION.
