[Skammen]

1968 - Sweden

Director
Ingmar Bergman

Starring
Liv Ullmann, Max Von Sydow

This is a Bergman that I think would suit those of you who don’t like those talky, hyper-self-aware films of his. This one’s much more atmospheric and evidently emotional, in a deeply disturbing consideration of what war does to even the most disinterested parties. Of course it is that disinterest — that ignorance, while remaining technically innocent — that leads to shame. Who isn’t complicit in war?

Lauren, 25, out-of-work librarian. At the moment, TLC is but a review blog and catalogue of my film-related perversions. I always plan to do more with it — and to one day step outside 30s Hollywood again. Who knows?
