Through a Glass Darkly

A family’s already fragile ties are tested by daughter Karin (Harriet Andersson, Summer with Monika), who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her father (Gunnar Björnstrand, Persona), husband (Max von Sydow, The Seventh Seal), and younger brother (Lars Passgård) are unable to stop Karin’s harrowing descent into the abyss of mental illness. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and featuring an astonishing lead performance by Andersson, Through a Glass Darkly presents an unflinching vision of a tortured psyche and a family’s near disintegration.
