Review of The Serpent's Egg (1977) by Guillaume H — 04 Oct 2014
A very different kind of film from Ingmar Bergman, made in his exile from Sweden when he was falsely accused of tax evasion. He's given an abnormally big budget and does a period piece, a cautionary tale of 1923 Berlin.
I really enjoyed the work of David Carradine, Liv Ullmann, Gert Frobe and James Whitmore, and it's worth seeing especially if you like works such as Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz or Fosse's Cabaret.
Just don't go into it expecting a typical Bergmanesque film and you won't be disappointed.
