Product Description
Faithless (Blu-ray)
Directed by Liv Ullmann
An aging director conjures a tale of adultery, betrayal and grief, in this powerful meditation on love and art based on a loosely autobiographical script by Ingmar Bergman.
Directed by Liv Ullmann – Bergman’s former muse and actress - Faithless is a lyrical, passionate and enigmatic work of outstanding depth; an emotional mystery story that reflects on the desire and torment of an intense romantic affair.
Sensitively depicted via Ullmann’s assured direction and featuring a stunning central performance by Lena Endre, this modern classic is presented on Blu-ray for the first time.

and directed (by Liv Ullman) film with award winning and unforgettable performances by Krister Henriksson (who
is Kurt Wallander in the series) and Lena Endre (who ia the prosecutor and romantic interest in the Wallander
series. It is truly a work of art from every perspective. The influence of Bergman on these actors in the much
more recent mystery series is quite evident.
The DVD boots to the Main Menu, which consists of "Play Movie", "Scene Selection", "Trailers", and "Filmographies".
If you click to play the movie you get the usual studio credits, followed by, of all things, the trailers; the first of which is for the movie you are about to watch. I can imagine only a few things more irritating than sitting down to immerse oneself in a movie and having it be like those awful couple of seasons of Columbo (and a few other TV shows that used the same brilliant idea) where you are first subjected to highlights of the upcoming episode in order to totally ruin your enjoyment of it.
At first, not expecting anything like this at all, I was thinking "Wow, this is a bit staccato. I'm having a really hard time keeping up, here!" I quickly surmised that probably what we were experiencing was a series of flashbacks of the events leading up to the beginning of the film, by way of prelude, and that I'd have to start it over and pay more rapt attention if I was to have any chance of following any of it. But then I suddenly realised that the voice-over was in English. What? That can't be right! Then, of course, the breathless action segued into more breathless action extracted from some other movie entirely, and I realised what was happening.
After some fumbling with the remote control, in the dark, I managed to get back to the Main Menu. Assuming I'd somehow accidentally clicked on the wrong option, I tried again. But the same thing happened. I tried clicking "next" to skip the trailers, but doing this dropped me about thirty minutes into the actual movie.
I tried to click the "fast rewind" button but instead hit the "Previous" button, taking me back to the beginning of the credits, which lead inexorably into the trailer.
At this point I confess that I started pushing buttons on my remote pretty much at random, whilst cussing up a blue streak. For some reason my player buffers keystrokes, so even after I'd tossed the remote safely out of harm's way, the player opened and closed the DVD tray about five times before finally reloading the DVD and presenting me with the "Resuming from saved position" legend. I grabbed the remote back, but couldn't find the STOP button fast enough, and ended up doing more random button punching and cussing until my DVD player went into standby mode and the screen went blank.
Eventually, after calming down, turning on the lights, and muting the sound on my receiver, I got back to where I'd first started, at the Main Menu. This time I tried clicking on "Scene Selections" and chose the first one, entitled "Opening Credits."
Yup. You guessed it. Back to the trailers. But this time I was expecting it and was the model of calm propriety.
So. The trailers are authored to be the first part of the movie. You can't avoid them, and you can't jump directly to the beginning of the movie. The only thing you can do is fast forward through the trailers, with your eyes averted, to the seven minute mark when the movie actually starts.
Is "Faithless" good enough that all this irritation fades into insignificance once the movie starts?
I have no idea. Liv Ullmann; Ingmar Bergman. One can't imagine it could be anything but a sheer delight (despite a couple of the other reviews here). Unfortunately, by the time I had all this garbage figured out, my mood was completely shattered. All I wanted to do was step back and let things lie for a few weeks until I had forgotten having watched any of the scenes in that horrible, horrible trailer.
So instead of enjoying the movie as I'd planned, I decided to spend the time writing this "Note to Self", that I can fold up and stick in the DVD case, before putting the DVD further down in my stack of unwatched movies so that later, when it surfaces again, I can avoid the heartbreak I just experienced and instead just enjoy the show.
With my awesome memory, no doubt I'll read this six months from now and be thinking "Ha! Thank goodness for Amazon reviews. Good thing I printed it out, or I bet I'd have been just like that poor guy!"
This cautionary tale, then, is here so that perhaps you can have the opportunity to do the same, and avoid being just like this poor guy.
[Why did I give a movie I've not yet seen 5 stars? I'm still looking forward to it. That's worth a tentative 5 stars right there.]
A somber film. Certainly well acted but no really sympathetic characters. Domestic relationships that are claustrophobic. A Bergman script directed by Ullman, but not really a film with film grammar, more of a play. Like much of Bergman. It was interesting for me as I have seen lots of Bergman but nothing by Ullman as director. I won't be adding this to my film library anytime soon. Don't watch this to feel good about human nature.
