6º – Winter Light (Ingmar Bergman, 1963)
A priest from a small town struggles to keep his faith in the midst of a life of uncertainty. Everything is questioned here. Every word, look and gesture denounce their inability to continue to be guided by their convictions of the past. The most significant moment of the film is when a man goes to church looking for some reason to continue living and leaves after a conversation with the priest, more disillusioned than when he entered. A hard film about unpleasant subjects that shows the “aura” that rules the world.
