Perhaps Bergman’s greatest film, Through a Glass Darkly renders a fragile woman’s descent into insanity as a cruel and beautiful poem. Harriet Andersson brings a dangerous incandescence to Karin, whose mental disintegration unleashes long buried incestuous passion and transforms her fits of religious ecstasy into harrowing visions of an uncaring, punishing god.
