And unluckily, she, namely Ingmar Bergman's mother Karin was already dead for almost 20 years when Ingmar Bergman made "Karins ansikte" or "Karin's Face" in 1984, over 30 years ago. This film is basically a video collection of photos and documents that have a certain connection to Karin. For Ingmar, this was one of his very rare attempts at short film making. And sadly, I cannot say it was too successful. It is not a watch by any means, but it is just irrelevant to audiences. We do now know his mother and we do not care about her. It sure is a nice tribute from his part, but really only as something personal to help him with grief or to just show his mother he loves her, not for anybody else outside the family. That is why I do not recommend watching this little movie. Good thing about it is there is no dialogue in there, so you won't need subtitles, even if there are some for the Swedish text we see. Anyway, not recommended.
