56KDie Berührung: Directed by Ingmar Bergman. With Elliott Gould, Bibi Andersson, Max von Sydow, Sheila Reid. A Swedish housewife begins an adulterous affair with a foreign archaeologist. But he is an emotionally scarred man, a Jewish survivor from a concentration camp, consequently, their relationship will be painfully difficult.
“I guess the ones who are most apt to truly understand the depth of this movie are those who live a situation similar as Andersonu0026#39;s character – a housewife, dutiful to her husband and children, living a normal, stable, yet boring life. Then bursts into her life a charming, attractive, mysterious and intriguing man. Elliott Gould gives an amazing performance – different from the usual type of character he portrays, still perfect and natural. Thinking back at the movie, I cannot imagine any other actor doing playing the role the way he does. The movie is simply wonderful.”
