* * *

Of all the actresses brought to prominence through the films of Ingmar Bergman, Ingrid Thulin perhaps best exemplifies the cool, blond Swedish beauty who combines sensuality and suffering with Nordic intensity. She first worked with Bergman, who was the artistic director of the Malmö Municipal Theater, after she had trained at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm in the late 1940s. In the film Wild Strawberries, however, playing the sister-in-law, she made her mark in Swedish cinema and began her long and fruitful career in Bergman's films. She appeared in a variety of roles in his films from 1958 in Brink of Life, for which she received an award at Cannes along with Bibi Andersson, to 1972 when she starred with Harriet Andersson and Liv Ullmann in Cries and Whispers. Often cast as a mistress (Winter Light, Hour of the Wolf, The Rite ), Thulin capitalized on the enigmatic quality of her stunning beauty and her tragic face which conveys a unique combination of pain and pleasure. Her career in Swedish cinema has not been restricted to the films of Bergman, however, and she also has been active in the movies of many other Swedish filmmakersamong them Alf Sjöberg and Mai Zetterling. Particularly noteworthy was her appearance in the latter's Night Games.

Ingrid Thulin's international career ranks her among the three great Swedish actresses with Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo. While the films in which she has appeared outside Sweden have made uneven use of her talents, her performances in Luchino Visconti's The Damned and Alan Resnais's La Guerre est finie were marked by brilliance. Especially memorable, because it so movingly captured her unique style, was her portrayal of Yves Montand's loving and long-suffering wife in the Resnais film. She has acted, but not always very effectively, in a wide variety of other international filmsamong them a number of Italian productions, as well as Vincente Minnelli's remake of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. She has directed the short film Hängivelse and the feature Brusten Himmel, and co-directed One on One with Erland Josephson and Sven Nykvist.
