WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Dissipation and disease fester behind a smokescreen of philanthropic do-goodism in the great director Ingmar Bergman's searing production of Ghosts, Henrik Ibsen's hyperrealist drama of a family gone tragically wrong.
Mrs. Helene Alving, a widow living on her husband's estate with her maid, strives to keep up appearances and to maintain his good name. Things aren't as they seem, of course. And the startling truths that inevitably unfold set in motion a series of ultimately calamitous events.
