'You spoke about truth.Think about truth.You are in such a gastly deception .When you talk about happiness a love you leave a trail of lies behind..All are lies'
In Ingmar Bergman's 'Passion of Anna' we can feel the touch of a creative genious once again.As in other Bergman magics, a novelty in narration is waiting for the viewers.
'The Passion of Anna' revolves around Anna,who reiterates about truth but goes on with the 'trail of lies' and violence.The other characters in the film are Andreas,Elis ,Eva and Anderson.
The film goes on piercing deeper and deeper into the heart of each character.In the interludes sprinkled throughout the film,the actors explain their opinion about the inner self of their characters.
Novelty lies in the narrative style of presentation.In the first part of the film,Andreas Winkelman repairing the roof of the house is introduced with a narration."His name is Andreas Winkelman and he is 48.He lives alone in an island out at the sea.The roof is in despair and is leaking in earnest after the autumn rains."
Anna always recollects love and passion in the married life with Andreas,who died in an accident.Later she marries Andreas Winkelman accepting the suggestion of Elis,the husband of Anna's best friend Eva.
The married life of Anna and Andreas is also narrated with originality."Andreas and Anna lived happily.There were a few violent quarrels also..''.........
Even after the marriage with the second Andreas,Anna continues with her hypocrisy.According to Andreas Anna's life is a 'God-damn acting'.Whenever Anna refers to the love and truthfulness of her both married lives ,the lines from the letter of Anna's late husband flashes through the mind of Andreas... ........ 'I will not give in as it will only lead to new complications,which in heir turn will bring terrible mental disturbances..physical and psychological acts of violence..'
Andreas lives humiliated at heart without self respect."Can we be sick with humiliation.We talk much about freedom.Is that a drug a humiliated uses to endure?",he asks.
Eva is a tender lady who can be influenced by anyone.She loves her husband from the depth of her heart but regrets that she is a burden to her husband.Elis also loves his wife but he tries to remain dispassionate to all his relations.He likes to be indifferent to his own and other's life.
John Anderson's character wets the eyes of the viewers.He is accused as the brutal animal killer of the island.People attack him and piss on his face.As in other Bergman films,Passion of Anna also gives a silent message of nonviolence through Anderson's character.
Anna's passion throws Andreas' life also in ruins.At the end Anna and Andreas part.The film ends with a thought provoking narration."This time he was called Andreas Winkelman"
