Such a frustrating disappointment

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

...it's long, and during the entire time they never really sell the idea why she would turn her life so upside down, pretty much just to screw this unappealing guy (who at the end shows his true character).. ...the David they cast does not measure up to the force that is his lover.. why would she see so many things in him that we just do not....and looking at her facial expression not fitting with the film's pedigree, you get the feeling she may be an airhead.... and the husband's plight being entirely script driven does nothing for the work except to add to the overall confusion....there's lots to like, with almost as much to disparage... don't believe lots will choose to sit through the entire over sized reel once again..

One of the best films I've seen. Liv Ullman does an excellent job directing Bergmans masterpiece of a manuscript. Hollywood has a lot to learn, with their cheesy garbage scripts, Hollywood and this movie represent two different solar systems. Stunning imagery, great acting, great direction and off course a manuscript that gives you sleepless nights. The actors are very well chosen, the use of light is intelligent and so is the tempo and rhythm of this film.The viewer is taken to a journey in humanities inner thoughts failures. Suicide and death is relevant as ever to the late Bergman who with his skills takes us through layers and (inner) layers of personalities and feelings these characters have. Feelings of love, betrayal, relationship and co-existence. Each of the characters are dynamic, complex and multi- dimensional and this is again enhanced through the great acting of the actors.Bravo Bergman and Ullman

I'm one of the lucky few who have seen this magnificent movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you should rush to the local video rental store and watch it as soon as possible. It's so sober, so beautiful, so special, so ... There just aren't enough words to describe this movie and the effect it had on me. I'm not easily touched by a movie, but this one blew me right out of my socks.The movie shows us a lonely man, living in a house on a beach where absolutely no person seems to come. It's Bergman himself, writing a new script for a movie. When doing so, an imaginary woman accompanies him, telling him everything about her life. She tells him all details of her life as a married woman, betraying her husband with his best friend and the consequences of her actions. All this seems so sterile from time to time, yet you'll be touched by it in the most profound way, especially when you see how her 9-year old daughter is aware of everything that is happening around her and how it influences her life...Ingmar Bergman's script is so sober, yet so surprising. You think you know where the movie is going, but only at the end of the movie you'll understand the full picture. It's so cold and warm at the same time, it's a little story, telling a huge tale. It' just unbelievably good. I give it a 10/10, only because 11, 12 or even more is impossible. I never thought a movie could be that good!

Even if directed by his all-time leading lady Liv Ullman, "Faithless" is a 100% Bergman movie.It is directed wonderfully, with an amazing photography and beautiful sets. The influence Bergman has over Liv Ullman is really strong (fortunately) and the script is as Bergman as it gets : Psychological tension in its peak, visceral human relationships, self-destruction and all the well known Ingmar's demons. Those really familiar with this giant writer/director will find in "faithless" a lot of autobiographical quotes. Let's hope this is not the last we hear from Ingmar. This movie is wonderfully moving. A must for the Bergman lover, and for anyone with high taste.
