A young woman, Karin, has recently returned to the family island after spending some time in a mental hospital. On the island with her is her lonely brother and kind, but increasingly desperate husband ('Max von Sydow'). They are joined by Karin's father ('Gunnar Björnstrand'), who is a world-traveling author that is estranged to his children. The film depicts how Karin's grip on reality slowly slips away and how the bonds between the family members are changing in light of this fact. 犹在镜中。伯格曼电影笔记之《犹在镜中》：我宁愿你冷酷到底。远离危及性命的哲学，跟刘小枫去神那还是跟伯格曼远离神？。最后的对白：。关于电影译名的考证。倒影/黑暗。一切 犹在镜中。罗杰伊伯特评《犹在镜中》。犹在无爱的镜中。生命和书写的矛盾。 遗传了母亲精神病的凯伦（Harriet Andersson 饰）经过入院治疗，被作家父亲大卫（Gunnar Björnstrand 饰）安排到一小岛上调养。凯伦男友马丁（Max von Sydow 饰）是一名医生，两人的感情此时处于低谷，马丁相信凯伦有痊愈的可能。青春期中的弟弟米纳斯颇有才华，但看上去有些焦躁。四人在封闭的岛上休整，但各自心中的不安似乎正慢慢滋长。凯伦发现父亲在冷漠的观察自己病情变化后情绪短暂失控。次日上午马丁与大卫乘小舟离去，被留下的凯伦开始沉溺于冥想，并对米纳斯显示出侵略性，在两人回岛之前凯伦昏倒在破旧的木船内，她向弟弟宣称，自己听到了上帝的声音…… 本片是伯格曼“神之沉默”三部曲的第一部，于1962年获奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。
