    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Liv Ullmann


    laurenjones — 17 years ago(November 25, 2008 05:23 AM)

    I've only seen three of her films, but her performance in Face to Face was mind blowing! I honestly think it's the best performance I've ever seen! Any other of her performances rival this one? I've seen Persona and Cries and Whispers already. She's brilliant in all three, but I'm just really fond of the Face to Face performance right now.

      I love her in FACT to FACE, but I loved her in LOST HORIZON and 40 CARETS too.

          In EVERY film I have seen her in she simply mesmerizes. Her emotional depth and range is like no other. See everything you can get your hands on with her in it!

            I've been dying to see "Face to Face", have read the script and all, but can't find a copy. That said, she's one of the finest actresses of all time and from what I've seen, "Autumn Sonata" takes the cake (Ingrid Bergman also at her best), with "Scenes from a Marriage" as a close 2nd. But people should give more credit to Bibi Andersson in "Persona" - Liv was fine, but that was Bibi's moment to shine, and she was wonderful.

              Why not pick up the MGM DVD package The Ingmar Bergman Collection?, it has my favorites Persona and Shame. You will really enjoy Liv's performances in these.

                I'd go with "Scenes From a Marriage".

                  Face to Face is really great, but personally I'd say Hour of the Wolf is her best (and2000 Max von Sydow's, too!)

                          She is outstanding in "Face to Face," especially considering she is working solo in many of her scenes. It's far from her best film that would perhaps be "Cries and Whispers" or "Scenes From a Marriage" but it's right up there with her finest work.

                            Liv Ullmann was magnificent in
                            Face To Face
                            . She held the film together. I can't imagine another actress giving a better performance in the role she plays in this film.
