One doesn’t think of Ingmar Bergman as a director of action or thriller (genre) movies. But he directs the war sequences in “Shame” with stunning confidence. It seems he could have made many more big (even epic) movies if he had been so inclined. This film features Bergman veterans Von Sydow and Ullmann as ordinary people who are turned into refugees by a ferocious war in which they get caught. They lose everything, are harassed, beaten and exploited. Eventually the neurotic Von Sydow proves he will do anything to survive. Simone Weil once wrote “the great mystery of life is not suffering, but affliction.” That is: suffering brings out the best in some people, others it turns into beasts. This movie asks that most painful question: what would you do in the same situation? The film presents a harrowing landscape of hell on earth that ends in a climax that will inevitably remind you of “Titanic”, although Bergman did it first. It’s more immediately accessible than many of Bergman’s other movies because the anguish here takes external form, not just emotionally interior terror. A neglected masterpiece that should be seen at least as often as his other great works.
I don’t care what people think of me after I make this statement. I don’t care if people think I’m over dramatizing or if I sound pretentious. But, Ingmar Bergman, to me, is a cinematic genius! People offen ask me, why do you like Bergman? Aren’t you a little too young to watch his films (I’m 18)? When asked these questions my answer is always the same. I watch Bergman’s films because I simply love the way he shows the human condition. Unlike Hollywood filmmakers, I think his films are far more personal. He shows society at face values, our good sides and bad. As for me being too young. Well, do you have to be a certain age to have a love for the finer things?
Bergman’s films almost if not always conjure important issues. His films make you think. And, they, to me anyway, always have characters that we can relate to. His films leave an emotional impact on his audience. Watching films like “Wild Strawberries”, or “The Seventh Seal”, “Through A Glass, Darkly”, “Persona”, and “Cries and Whispers” they are all able to connect with the viewer. We feel for these characters. I’ve offen joked around and have said that the two characters in “Strawberries” and “Seal” are me! And “Shame” is just as powerful as any other Bergman film. The images we see on screen, grip us. They are intense, but, not like the way cop movies are. They are intense in a realistic point of view. “Shame” directed and written by Bergman stars Max von Sydow and Liv Ullman as Jan and Eva Rosenberg, former violinist, who have not played in some time. I assume this is due to the civil war that is happening. They live on a farm, far away from society. And, according to Jan (Sydow) that is a good thing. He follows the rule of, the less you know the better. He and Eva (Ullman) are having their own personal problems in they relationship. She wants to have a baby, and he thinks they should wait. They have no money, and it clearly is not safe where they are living. They can hear bombs being dropped and the sound of guns being fired. If all of this wasn’t enough they are later accused of being in trust I suppose you can say with the enemy. Once you hit this point of the film it is the second “act”. They are now put to the test to find out exactly what kind of people they are. Are they just or not? After a suprise ending we see that they have a lot of secrets they now must keep to each other, so they must live in “Shame” due to their actions. The cinematography by Sven Nykvist is wonderful. I feel his work really adds to the film. I found this film very hard to find. I actually had to leave Chicago to buy it lol. I don’t know if anyone else had the same problem or not, but if you do, it’s really worth the search. Great movie for those who haven’t seen a Bergman film yet (”Shame” on you! lol). Powerful, wonderful acting, great directing and photography. A Bergman masterpiece!
