Watch: Ansikte mot Ansikte 1976 123movies, Full Movie Online – With her husband Eric at a medical congress in Chicago and their fourteen year old daughter at riding camp for the summer, psychiatrist Dr. Jenny Isaksson has emptied out their old house while their new house is being built, and has moved in with her grandparents in the house in which she grew up, she having temporarily assumed the role of senior physician at a psychiatric hospital filling in for a vacationing colleague. She is having a casual, meaningless affair with a man named Martin, while she believes that Tomas Jacobi, who she meets at a party, also is making sexual advances toward her. Regardless of if her assumption about Tomas is correct, the two become friends and frequent companions. In watching her grandmother lovingly take care of her ailing grandfather, remembering back to her childhood with her grandparents, spending time with Tomas, and processing an event associated with one of her more severe cases, that of a young woman named Maria, Jenny, in a fragile mental state, begins to have a nervous breakdown. In a semi-lucid state while conscious, and in semi-consciousness regarding reality when she dreams in her sleep, Jenny may begin to process her fragile mental state, especially if it is better to be alive or dead..
Plot: Dr. Jenny Isaksson is a psychiatrist whose temporary position at a mental hospital offers only modest responsibilities. With her husband out of the country for a seminar and her daughter at camp, Jenny moves in with her grandparents, expecting a relaxing few months. But it isn’t long before unpleasant memories of her childhood, the sudden appearance of strange apparitions, and a near-rape push this otherwise stable woman to the very edge of sanity.

Incredible work by Liv Ullman
A tremendous performance by Liv Ullman as a psychiatrist who is herself slowly going mad, haunted by dreams or visions of her past, pushing her towards suicide.

Some of the dream imagery is truly striking and nightmarish – once again Bergman comes close to making a horror film.

But at times these visions and their symbols are a bit on the nose, and at times they get repetitive.

None the less, I look foreword to seeing this again.

I only wish the full 200 minute version (made as 4 50 minute parts for Swedish TV) were available. I have a feeling that might make for a richer experience

Watch for Ullman
“Do you think we’re an army of one million emotionally crippled people, wretches who wander around, shouting to each other with words we don’t understand and that make us even more scared?”

Liv Ullman plays a psychologist helping some seriously disturbed patients, but in time we find that she suffers from childhood trauma and has some pretty serious issues of her own. While she tries to face her demons, I think the title is ironic, because if anything “Face to Face” seems to be about facing the disquieting truth about the human condition, that we are ultimately alone. Brace yourself, because it’s a rather somber work.

We see a divorced man (Erland Josephson) rather sadly try to pursue her, her grandfather (Gunnar Björnstrand) breaking down in old age, and a friend pathetically try to turn the wheels of time back by getting a lover 26 years younger. There is great cynicism about human connection, and the ability of psychology to help patients with their problems. There is an attempted rape, attempted suicide, and attempts at connecting with family members, all of which fail, which I think is telling.

It’s interesting to see the faces of people at a piano recital, as the music is so beautiful and they look erudite and enjoying something elevated, but it’s contrasted to the people we learn about, each of whom have problems, like the “emotionally crippled” people Ullman’s character alludes to. Bergman offers a ray of hope in the love between the grandparents, but it’s brief.

Liv Ullman gives a virtuoso performance and the dream sequences Bergman includes are dramatic and frightening, so I was tempted to nudge my review score up a bit. The way the plot slowly meanders and how certain elements played out were a bit of a letdown though. Overall, it seems like the germ of the idea was a good one and it has its moments, but it fell short for me. Watch it for Ullman’s performance though.
