The Touch (Dual Format Edition)

Ingmar Bergman's classic, presented in a 2K restoration by the Swedish Film Institute from the original negatives of Bergman’s preferred Swedish/English cut

Unavailable for decades, the BFI are proud to present Ingmar Bergman’s The Touch for the first time on Blu-ray worldwide.

Karin (Bibi Andersson), a happily married mother of two, surprises herself by responding in-kind to an unforeseen profession of love from David (Elliott Gould), an archaeologist visiting Sweden, whom her doctor husband (Max von Sydow) has befriended. But love, however toxically exhilarating, is seldom simple, and deceit and David’s volatile temperament take their toll.

The Touch marked the first time Bergman worked with an established Hollywood star (Gould). Originally released in a fully English language version, this presentation of The Touch is a new 2K restoration by the Swedish Film Institute from the original negatives of Bergman’s preferred Swedish/English cut.
