Through A Glass Darkly (1961) ****

Ingmar Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly (1961) is a somber meditation on mental illness, faith, love, family, despair, and artistic expression. It's beautifully contained on an island location, strikingly shot by Sven Nykvist (primarily in bright light contrasting its subject matter) and fantastically portrayed across the board by the film's only four actors—Harriet Andersson, Gunnar Björnstrand, Max von Sydow and Lars Passgård.
