In one of the most challenging roles of her early career in Sweden, Ingrid Bergman plays Anna Holm, whose bitterness over her facial disfigurement leads her to become a blackmailer. However, when one of her victims turns out to be married to a renowned plastic surgeon, Anna is given the opportunity to change her life. Directed by Gustaf Molander (INTERMEZZO), Sweden's premier director of the 1930s and Bergman's mentor, A WOMAN'S FACE is a daring and frequently shocking psychological drama. It also contains a climactic, fast-paced chase across the ice involving a runaway sleigh, which the New York Times dubbed "wildly beautiful" in its original review.
