Faithless (2000)

A tale of adultery, betrayal and grief as BFI announce they are set to release Faithless (Trolösa, 2000) on Blu-Ray for the first time in April.

Directed by Norwegian actor, director and writer Liv Ullmann, Bergman’s former muse and star of some of his most significant films. This 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.

Next to the Blu-ray release, the film will also be part of BFI Southbank’s season, ‘LIV ULLMANN: FACE TO FACE’, which runs from 28th March – 30th April. The 9th April screening will include an introduction by Liv Ullmann.

An ageing 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.

Sensitively depicted via Ullmann’s assured direction and featuring a stunning central performance by Lena Endre, Faithless is considered a modern  arthouse classic.
