Review of Hour of the Wolf (1968) by Jacob F — 11 Mar 2008
A unique and very artistic horror film, with really stunning cinematography and great acting (as is typically the case with Bergman's films). While it might not be precisely a great work, since it's symbolism is too murky and the pacing is flawed, the photography and unique atmosphere will keep one engaged and startled throughout the movie.
This explosion of an artist's mind presents enigmatic images constantly, and I need to watch it again to fully grasp its many symbolic meanings. One of a kind, not Bergman at his finest, but still, "The Hour of the Wolf" will probably linger in your head for many days later.
These are images of such power one does not easily forget.
