Liv Ullmann

Liv Ullmann is a Norwegian actress and film director known for psychologically intense performances in films by Ingmar Bergman, including Persona and Scenes from a Marriage.

Persona: A 1966 film by Ingmar Bergman about an actress who stops speaking and the nurse assigned to care for her. Ullmann’s role as Elisabet Vogler began her internationally recognized screen partnership with Bergman.
Ingmar Bergman: A Swedish film and theatre director whose works often examine faith, death, identity, and intimate relationships. Bergman directed many of Ullmann’s most celebrated performances and collaborated with her onstage.
Faithless: A 2000 film directed by Liv Ullmann and written by Ingmar Bergman about an extramarital affair and its consequences. It is a major example of Ullmann directing Bergman’s screenplay rather than acting in it.
Academy Award for Best Actress: An annual Academy Award recognizing a leading performance by an actress in a film. Ullmann received two nominations, for The Emigrants and Face to Face.
Max von Sydow: A Swedish actor known for leading roles in films by Ingmar Bergman and international productions. Von Sydow was another defining Bergman collaborator, with a markedly different screen presence from Ullmann.
Scenes from a Marriage: A 1973 Ingmar Bergman drama depicting the changing relationship of a married couple over several years. Ullmann’s portrayal of Marianne became one of her signature performances.
Erland Josephson: A Swedish actor and writer known for his work in theatre and films by Ingmar Bergman. Josephson was Ullmann’s frequent co-star, notably in Scenes from a Marriage.
Sofie: A 1992 Danish-Swedish drama film directed by Liv Ullmann, set in a Jewish family in nineteenth-century Copenhagen. Ullmann’s early feature directing brought her to a historical story beyond her Bergman roles.
Face to Face: A 1976 Ingmar Bergman film about a psychiatrist’s psychological crisis and recovery. Ullmann’s lead performance earned her a second Academy Award nomination.
Bibi Andersson: A Swedish actress known for her performances in films by Ingmar Bergman. Andersson’s work offers a close comparison with Ullmann’s roles in Bergman’s psychologically focused films.
