Synopsis

Nelly, 18, who lives with her foster mother in a quiet provincial town, is shaken by the sudden arrival of her birth mother. The latter eventually takes Nelly to Stockholm where she is courted by her biological mother’s decadent lover, receiving a crash course in corruption and wrenching heartbreak.

MUBI's take

A fascinating glimpse at both the already-apparent influence of playwright Henrik Ibsen, and what was to come later in Bergman’s incredible career. Crisis is akin to a chamber play: pared back to just a few elements, but full of intense emotion and psychological introspection.
