This film uses a sudden dissonant chord and fades to white when a torn photograph of a boy is revealed under a hand, and again to cut off the words “I haven’t.” This film ends with a camera crew filming one of its two central characters boarding a bus to leave a sea cottage. An image from this film inspired the cover art and title of a 1990 book on decadence by Camille Paglia. This film opens with a montage that includes a sheep being butchered, a nail hammered into a hand, and a (*) boy waking up and touching a projected image of a woman. In this film, the mute actress Elisabet and her nurse Alma are played by its director’s frequent collaborators Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann, whose faces are superimposed into one image. For 10 points, name this psychological film about the merging of two women, directed by Ingmar Bergman. ■END■
