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.

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.

i was trying to find a thread discussing about Liv's best performances, which one you think is better, Scene from a Marriage or Face to Face?

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

I'd go with "Scenes From a Marriage".
Pie Ho fo life!
Watch "Pushing Daisies" and "Friday Night Lights"

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'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.

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