The inaugural installment of The Before Trilogy opens with a chance encounter between two solitary young strangers. After they hit it off on a train bound for Vienna, Paris University student Celine and the scrappy American tourist Jesse impulsively decide to spend a day together before he returns to the U.S. Richard Linklater’s observant gaze captures the uncertainty and intoxication of young love, from the first awkward stirrings of attraction to the hopeful promise Celine and Jesse make upon their inevitable parting.

Autumn Sonata was the only collaboration between Ingmar Bergman and Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca). Ingrid Bergman, playing an icy concert pianist, is matched beat for beat in ferocity by the filmmaker’s recurring lead Liv Ullmann, as her eldest daughter. Over the course of a day and a long, painful night the two spend together after an extended separation, they finally confront the bitter discord of their relationship.

Almost a decade later, Celine tracks down Jesse, now an author, with only a few hours left before he is to board a flight back home to the States. The pair find their chemistry rekindled by increasingly candid exchanges about professional setbacks, marital disappointments, and the compromises of adulthood. Impelled by an urgent sense of the transience of human connection, Before Sunset remains Richard Linklater’s most seductive experiment with time’s inexorable passage and the way love can seem to stop it in its tracks.

Hour of the Wolf stars Max von Sydow as a haunted painter living in voluntary exile with his wife (Liv Ullmann). When the couple are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong with a vengeance, as a coven of sinister aristocrats hastens the artist’s psychological deterioration. This gripping film is charged with a nightmarish power rare in the Bergman canon, and contains dreamlike effects that brilliantly underscore the tale’s horrific elements.

The conclusion to The Before Trilogy finds Celine and Jesse several years into a relationship, on a sun-dappled Greek retreat with their twin daughters. The couple finds their vacation upended by long-simmering problems. Marked by the emotional depth, piercing wit, and conversational exuberance honed over two decades with these characters, Before Midnight grapples with the complexities of long-term intimacy, and asks what becomes of love when it has no recourse to past illusions.

Returning exhausted from the Crusades to find medieval Sweden gripped by the Plague, a knight (Max von Sydow) suddenly comes face-to-face with the hooded figure of Death, and challenges him to a game of chess. As the fateful game progresses, and the knight and his squire encounter a gallery of outcasts from a society in despair, Ingmar Bergman mounts a profound inquiry into the nature of faith and the torment of mortality. One of the most influential films of its time, The Seventh Seal is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visual poetry.
