Quote:
Three women in a maternity ward reveal their lives and intimate thoughts to each other.

Quote:
At the height of his international acclaim, Ingmar Bergman followed two meditations on death, The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, with an examination of the mystery and pain of birth. This intimate chamber drama, set in a maternity ward, follows the emotional crises of three women as they grapple with motherhood. Another major success for the director that was also recognized for its exquisite performances by Ingrid Thulin, Eva Dahlbeck, and Bibi Andersson, Brink of Life is one of Bergman’s most brilliantly nuanced explorations of the inner lives of women.

A theater company rehearses Aristophanes play “Lysistrata” in which the Athenian women revolt to force the men to suspend the war and make peace. The three leading female actresses, Liz, Marianne and Gunilla, all live in humiliating circumstances to their men.

Quote:
Alternating between Grecian theatrics and dreamlike wanderings, Mai Zetterling’s take on Lysistrata is a frank, funny, and introspective glimpse into the lives of three actresses, whose romantic experiences intersect with the themes of the play as they are performing it on tour. Through internal monologues, fanciful dream sequences, readings from the text, and slice of life moments, the film expounds upon its themes of patriarchal traditions in the supposedly “modern” age as well as the idea of passive vs active consumption of culture. It’s not exactly subtle in its gender politics but the earnest performances, stylish visuals, and almost playful construction made for an enjoyable and thought-provoking watch.(Alex Kittle, letterboxd)

The post Mai Zetterling – Flickorna AKA The Girls (1968) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A young wife stays alone in her opulent apartment after her husband and her maid leave. Suddenly the doorbell rings. She opens it to find a strange gun-toting man who bursts in and chloroforms her. She later awakens and finds herself tied to the couch. The stranger warns her not to scream. They begin talking and the man implies that her husband is in danger. Very soon between the two begins a very strange attraction…

Director is Jacques Doniol-Valcroze (15 March 1920 – 6 October 1989). In 1955, he was a member of the jury at the 16th Venice International Film Festival, and in 1964 a member of the jury at the 14th Berlin International Film Festival. Most notably known for being a co-founder of Cahiers du cinéma altogether with Andre Bazin, first as a editor in chief and then as the full director.

The curator of sound is Per-Olof Petterson (Hour of The Wolf, Stimulantia, Persona, All These Women), most notably known for having worked on several films with Ingmar Bergman and other famous Swedish directors, he will change his name in the sixties in Prambo.

Although it is a bit under-produced, mostly because the lack of money, nothing is taken to chance.

The curator of decors is Jan Boleslaw, born in 1911, mostly known for his works with Mai Zetterling (Nattlek, Älskande Par)

Very paradigmatic of the movie is the opening credits’ scene, where the camera slowly pan in the dark to a minimal op art tableau affixed to a bare wall, stunningly stopping at a slowly-blurring black circle. The black encompass the movie and we are entering the dream-reality.

The editor was Sophie Bhaud, who worked previously with Doniol-Valcroze on La Bien-Aimée (1967 too).

The Vhsrip is meaning to be long 1h22m but the film in itself is only 1h18mm, because, as it is prefixed in the very beginning, “cette video cassette comporte des bandes annonces a la fin du film”.

Haneke has surely seen this film.

A small picturesque town at the turn of the century. The conservative moral of the townspeople is shaken when they find out that the school teacher Franzén published his own poetry anonymously many years ago. At the same time he acknowledges his love affair with a waitress at the city hotel, Fanny. What is most upsetting is the fact that Fanny has a grownup daughter, Anna, with no known father. Could their poet teacher be the father although he and Fanny are not married?

Co-written by Ingmar Bergman and Erland Josephson under the pseudonym Buntel Ericsson. One of Bergman’s few attempts at comedy.
