Winter Light (Swedish:Nattvardsgästerna, literally "The Communicants") is a 1963 Swedish drama film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman and starring Bergman regulars Gunnar Björnstrand, Ingrid Thulin and Max von Sydow. The film follows Tomas Ericsson (Björnstrand), pastor of a small rural Swedish church, as he deals with existential crisis and his Christianity.
Bergman cited Winter Light as his favorite among his films. One of Ingmar's most intimate and autobiographical films, it deals harshly with personal elements of the director's life and worldview. Bergman claims that he only "realized who he really was" and came to terms with himself through the making of Winter Light. Vilgot Sjöman's film Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie was made simultaneously with Winter Light and documents its production.
Plot
The film opens with the final moments of Tomas's noon service. In attendance are only a handful of people, including fisherman Jonas Persson and his wife Karin (von Sydow and Gunnel Lindblom), and Tomas's ex-mistress, the atheistic Märta (Ingrid Thulin). After the service, Tomas, though coming down with a cold, prepares for his 3 o'clock service in another town.
Winter Light is an out-of-print album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in late 1993. Although it had sold a total of merely 248,410 copies - according to Nielsen SoundScan - at the time of its deletion, it stands as one of Linda's most acclaimed albums.
History
Winter Light was Ronstadt's first solo album since Don't Cry Now not to be produced by Peter Asher. She elected to produce it herself along with George Massenburg. The album marked Ronstadt's increased responsibilities and confidence behind the boards, this time achieving a multi-layered New Age-oriented sound, as in Anna McGarrigle's "Heartbeats Accelerating" — the album's first hit single — and Brian Wilson's "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on my Shoulder)". "Heartbeats Accelerating" featured a popular music video while another track, a remake of the classic 1960s R&B hit, "Oh No, Not My Baby", was a Top 30 Adult Contemporary hit for Linda in the spring of 1994.
It's always in the back of your mind When everything is dark, still something shines One chilly afternoon, you drew the blind The earth was frozen Ice upon the water All at once you saw her There in the winter light Then the light came bouncing up from stony ground And deep within the earth you heard the sound Breaking like a rock you grew profound The earth was frozen Ice upon the water All at once you saw her There in the winter light There in the winter light There in the winter light Making everything look beautiful Light, a child with his own phantasmagoria Light that spills from billions of excited atoms Light that lingers in a quiet room Reveal for me shine for me There in the winter light Shine for me, reveal for me There in the winter light
