Music in Darkness (Swedish: Musik i mörker) is a 1948 Swedish drama film directed by Ingmar Bergman.
The screenplay was written by Bergman and Dagmar Edqvist, whose novel, Music In Darkness, is the basis of the film.
Talented pianist Bengt Vyldeke loses his sight after being accidentally shot during a military exercise. Bengt is gripped by increasing bitterness and develops a relationship with Ingrid, a lower-class girl employed as a servant in the home of Bengt's parents.
The theme of blindness and of a blind's person subjective experience plays a major role in the psychological study depicted in the movie. Bergman was deeply passionate about music and once said, "If I had to choose between losing my eyes or ears—I would keep my ears. I can't imagine anything more terrible than to have my music taken away from me."
