Quote:
“God, why hast thou forsaken me?” With Winter Light, Ingmar Bergman explores the search for redemption in a meaningless existence. Small-town pastor Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Björnstrand) performs his duties mechanically before a dwindling congregation, including his stubbornly devoted lover, Märta (Ingrid Thulin). When he is asked to assuage a troubled parishioner’s (Max von Sydow) debilitating fear of nuclear annihilation, Tomas is terrified to find that he can provide nothing but his own doubt. The beautifully photographed Winter Light is an unsettling look at the human craving for personal validation in a world seemingly abandoned by God.

The post Jan Halldoff – En dröm om frihet AKA A Dream of Freedom (1969) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A priest, Sven, and his wife Anna live in a lonely vicarage in northern Sweden. Anna has been suffering from nervous trouble. With them lives her “self-sacrificing” friend Hedvig. Hedvig is a complicated character. At first sight she exposes dark sides. She has sworn her self to the devil, by carving a bloody cross onto her body. Hedvig is successfully performing a lot of sorceries, several of them with a strong erotic meaning Thus she sneaks naked to the priest’s bed during night. Leaning over him she kisses his body. Sven is moving uneasily in his sleep but does not wake up. Carefully she sits astride him. There is a night of lust. Anna fins herself soon entangled in a net of wickedness. It is surrounding her from all sides, still it is gliding away, always impalpable. There are cases of violent death, declared “natural” in spite of many question marks. There is a heavy atmosphere of fright, hatred and eroticism in the beautiful vicarage…

The post Ingmar Bergman – Gycklarnas afton AKA Sawdust and Tinsel (1953) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

During excavations made in Stockholm in the year 2248, archaeologists find 45,000 meters of film reels from the 1940s, which turn out to be feature films by master director Hasse Ekman. The material is in total disarray, but the Association of Ancient Film Research compiles the reels according to what they believe to have been the master’s artistic intent.

The story is compiled from eight of Hasse Ekman’s 40’s movies – one of the first (the first?) films to consist exlusively of samples from a director’s prior work. Ekman chose this solution as a response to the strike among Swedish actors at the time. The only original take is the one in color in the start with the “professor” and hottie Eva Henning (Ekman’s wife at the time) as his assistant.
Supposedly, several of the actors were furious about their scenes being exploited this way. The montage even links scenes that suggest gay romance between straight characters.
