Review of Shame (1968) by Paul P — 17 Dec 2011
'Shame' is a film that deals with the mental horrors war can weigh on human beings. And not soldiers but the innocent people who have to deal with the war being fought on there homeland. Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullmann play the tortured couple.
Like always they bring a believability to the role and flesh these characters out so well that it makes you feel like you know them. An interesting companion piece to 'The Passion of Anna' and I guess that means 'Hour of the Wolf' as well.
Bergman's film is anti-war to its core. By not pinpointing the exact issues of the war it makes this film virtually timeless.
