Music in Darkness (Swedish: '''Musik i mörker'''), known in the United States as Night Is My Future, is a 1948 Swedish drama film directed by Ingmar Bergman.
The screenplay was written by Bergman and Dagmar Edqvist,[1] [2] whose novel, Music In Darkness, is the basis of the film. 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,[3] "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."
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.
