WT03.03 Winter Light (1962)

Watching Theology April 19th, 2009

God's Silence Series: no. 1. Ingmar Bergman's films have become synonymous with existential terror. In 1962's Winter Light, Bergman explores what could be a typical Sunday for a struggling pastor, except that this pastor may not believe in God. Winter Light is the first episode in a 5 part series on religious doubt, specifically on how "God's Silence" is explored in movies.
(Note: this episode references Arthur Gibson's book Silence of God.) Future episodes in this series: Mean Streets, Crimes and Misdemeanors, In Bruges, and Richard Dutcher's Falling. [#3.03]

NOW AVAILABLE: Watching, a film book by Joe and Melissa Johnson
