Shame

Skammen
Shame is Bergman’s masterful vision about war and its human consequences. The film is sadly just as relevant today as when it was made, and its impact has not lessened since. The starting point is ambivalent: on the one hand, we’re in a peaceful place in the Swedish countryside. On the other hand, it looks as if disaster can strike any moment. A man (von Sydow) and his wife (Ullmann) have fled from the horrors of the war, and have become indifferent to it, until it catches up with them and threatens their lives. Bergman portrays war as a blind, destructive force, making it serve as a background for the film’s real drama: the husband and wife have to confront each other and acknowledge that the only honest feeling they have left is shame. The film ends with one of film history’s most apocalyptic visions, confidently captured by Sven Nykvist’s camera. This unforgettable film underlines Bergman’s incredible skill as an actors’ director.



Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007)

Bergman not only left behind him one of the biggest, but also one of the most significant and most personal corpus of works in film history. He wrote and directed over 60 films and television productions from his debut in 1946 to his swan song Saraband in 2003. They can roughly be categorised in five periods: 1944-52 young love; 1952-55 marriage; 1956-64 metaphysical questions; 1966-81 the role of the artist; 1982-2003 epilogue and autobiography. Bergman’s insistence on dealing with major questions with an intense cinematic form has had an enormous significance for the perception of film as a serious art form. His masterpieces such as The Seventh Seal, Persona and Fanny and Alexander are milestones in European filmmaking.



The film will be introduced by Thomas Bredsdorff from Politiken and Katinka Faragó, who worked with Bergman on the majority of his films.



Shame is shown in cooperation with Cinemateket.
