Bergman’s only “sci-fi”
‘Shame’ as it is best known world wide, is probably most underrated Bergman movie at the moment. Or perhaps little seen is more correct term, as most people who have seen it consider ‘Shame’ to be among the Bergman’s bests. And the film is too great for such unnoticed film.Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow star as wife and husband getting caught in the horrors of war. Although the war is shown mostly without epic battle scenes, rather shown just by soldiers marching by and fighter jets flying over, the sound of imminent doom is in every frame. ‘Shame’ is wonderful character study and what war does to a peoples’ psychology. Max von Sydow’s Jan is intelligent, but somewhat cowardly man. Some can even call him weak, while Liv Ullmann’s Eva is strong and independent woman, who really cares about her husband. The character descriptions seem simple at first – strong wife, weak husband – but there’s much more hidden in these people. Although Jan is not your typical macho guy, his intelligence compensate lot of his cowardice. And Eva, although strong woman, is still in need of some support from her husband. While the war comes closer and closer we see their relationship starting to fall apart, and then getting stronger again, until they get right into the middle of war horrors, with both sides riding over their farm. They both grow cold and stay together just for habit. Jan becomes cruel and violent, while Eva becomes not exactly submissive, but rather distant.
Bergman has stated his dissatisfaction with the film in several occasions, and never considered it his best work, but ‘Shame’ is must see film.
Here is Swedish Arthouse Classic set in War Zone. Bergman’s brutalized version of beautiful looking ugly characters.
Skammen / Shame (1968) : Brief Review –Here is Swedish Arthouse Classic set in War Zone. Bergman’s brutalized version of beautiful looking ugly characters. Shame has to be rewarded as one of the most gutsy and brutal classic ever made on War topic as it deals with the horrors of war without giving a soft touch to the main characters. Mostly War films shows us ‘good characters’ being tortured but how many war films have shown us ugly characters? In Shame, Bergman does that thing and that too without losing ampathetic sense. In the midst of a civil war, former violinists Jan and Eva, who have a tempestuous marriage, run a farm on a rural island. In spite of their best efforts to escape their homeland, the war impinges on every aspect of their lives. It has those typical Bergman style scenes full of unethic ingredients. I don’t know what he gets by showing extramarital sexual affairs in every film, it doesn’t sound good everytime and that’s the reason i called the characters ‘Ugly’. Though it has pretty implausible reason like War effects on human nature and life but still i personally don’t like watching such stuff. Ullmann and von Sydow play Eva and Jan in the film and both of them are just terrific. Ullman’s monologue when she talks about having a child on coffee table is so impressive and it is a long shot with still frame. Sydow in those emotional breakdown scenes is brilliant and then he goes completely opposite in the ending portion to show brutal change. Shame is a very important film for art lovers because War theme has always provided mainstream dramas except for a few Classics. I was surprised to see Bergman making such a pacy, loud and explosive film. It was a pleasant surprise though. Overall, An Absolute Classy Product.
