Peter and Katerina have a life that, on the surface, seems perfect. But beneath the facade, lies a loveless marriage marked by antagonism and cruelty. Locked in a desolate relationship, Peter often dreams of killing his elusive wife, an act that would allow him to possess her finally and completely. An encounter with a prostitute--also named Katerina---sparks in him an explosive rage that leads to an unspeakable crime. For this disturbing study of repression, obsession, and murder, Bergman contrasts stark black-and-white flashbacks with vivid color images that flood the screen with the horror of the present. Filmed during the director's exile in Germany.
