冬日之光 Ratings & Reviews
- makdelart2025年12月17日After a personal tragedy (the death of his wife), a pastor loses his faith in God and, sharing his doubts with a parishioner seeking consolation, leads him to commit suicide. The empty pews in the church are a reflection of the pastor's burnt-out soul, but ‘the show must go on’.
- CrossCutCritic2025年5月5日When God Goes Silent and the Echo is Your Own Voice --- There are no miracles in Winter Light. No climaxes of hope. No swelling scores. No redemptive breakthroughs. There is only silence. And the echo of your own voice against the stone walls of a church grown cold. This is Ingmar Bergman at his most stripped down—a film where the camera lingers not to awe, but to accuse. Where the sacraments feel like ash, and the cross isn’t empty because Christ has risen, but because no one was ever there to begin with. Or so it seems. --- Pastor Tomas is a man unraveling—not in rage or collapse, but in the slow suffocation of unanswered prayer. Once the shepherd of souls, now he is the echo chamber of his own doubt. He preaches, but the words don’t land. He serves communion, but his hands are numb. He listens, but hears only the roar of his own despair. When a congregant begs him for a reason to go on living, he answers with silence that masquerades as honesty— and the man kills himself. And still, the liturgy continues. --- Winter Light is a study in divine absence. But not the tidy absence of philosophical debate. This is the absence that lingers after you have cried out for God, and the only answer is the hum of fluorescent lighting. It is the absence that makes the pews ache, that makes the priest a prisoner of his own vestments, that makes a woman’s love feel like an intrusion instead of a grace. And yet. Bergman does not give us nihilism. He gives us the shape of something cruciform: A Christ who does not descend from the cross. A pastor who does not stop the service. A God who does not speak—but who might, in some terrible mercy, still be listening. --- This is the theology of the cross, without decoration. Martin Luther called it Deus absconditus — the hidden God. The God who veils Himself in suffering. The God who does not show up with fire and clouds, but with silence and nails. For Luther, the cross was not just the site of redemption, but the only place where God could be truly known—precisely because it is where He seems most absent. This is what Winter Light shows us: A man who cannot feel God, but who continues to minister anyway. Not because he believes. But because, in the end, the liturgy is all that’s left. And maybe that’s where grace begins. --- The Service Continues The final scene is quiet. No resolution. No transformation. Just Tomas, standing at the altar, speaking the words of a liturgy he barely believes. And yet—he speaks them. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It is a surrender, not to clarity, but to calling. To the haunting possibility that faith is not the absence of doubt, but the refusal to walk away. That God might still be hidden behind the silence, beneath the ash, within the very liturgy that feels dead. And if that is true, then Winter Light is not a film about despair, but about cruciform faith: the kind that keeps lighting candles in a sanctuary that feels abandoned. Because sometimes, that is how resurrection begins.
