Marianne Vogler is a successful actress, happily married to Markus, an orchestra conductor much in demand for overseas concerts, and devoted to her young daughter, Isabelle. Into this easy equation steps family friend David, a film director notorious for his reckless attitude towards relationships. Marianne's closeness to David develops into attraction, and he responds despite his friendship with Markus.

Critics Consensus

This brooding, measured look at adultery is ultimately emotionally riveting, thanks to its script and performances.

2/5

A suffocating, anachronistic piece of film-making.

It's all the more moving that, after half a lifetime, Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann are still seeking illumination, and expiation, through the public yet intensely personal medium of film.

This could be a regretful remembrance of things past on the part of "Bergman" or it could be a pure fiction torn from the ether.

Ullmann’s best work by far, with one of the greatest film performances ever, by Lena Endre.

Faithless is an engrossing assertion of the Swedish art film director's propensity for profound navel-gazing into the morality of our actions.

A-

While not to everyone's taste, the technical and narrative complexity alone are to be applauded - the film looks gorgeous, and the film is both literate and witty.
