The silence of God resounds with a deafening, despairing clarity in Bergman's masterfully minimalist Winter Light, one of the director's most anguished and overwhelming explorations of spiritual emptiness. The middle work in a "trilogy of faith" that includes Through a Glass Darkly (1961) and The Silence (1963), the film stars Gunnar Björnstrand as a village pastor who has suffered a complete loss of faith since the death of his wife. when a parishioner (Max von Sydow) with a suicidal dread of nuclear warfare comes seeking spiritual comfort, he is utterly unable to provide it.
