The 1977 Academy awards saw Faye Dunaway win best actress for "Network".
One of the other nominees was Liv Ullman for this movie.
Ullman's is possibly the best performance in a movie ever by anyone.
Hyperbole? I suggest you check it out.
"Face to Face" is angst Ingmar Bergman all the way. As great as his writing and direction are, it's difficult to imagine this movie working at all No less as greatly as it does with any other actress carrying it. The movie depiction of a regular person going crazy can of course easily become unintentionally funny. But don't expect any laughs in this one beyond those in amazement at how good Ullman is.
If you liked "Scenes from a Marriage" mr Josephon is also back here. And he and Ullman continue to Have a rarely matched chemistry in their scenes as a screen couple.
There are a number of dream scenes- Nightmares actually. Again these could easily become unintentionally silly. I found them quite scary.
46 minutes more was included in the Swedish TV presentation of this. It's never been released in any way to home video. Boy I'd love to see it, Because the nearly two hours here is superb.
