    Bergman in horror movies. Bergman can really shoot dreams! Comparative experiments. Childhood memories. The artist's self, love and life. SVEN's light and shadow really helped Bergman. Without him, Bergman's images would never be so expressive and shocking. Of course, Bergman's theater experience also makes his actors...

    Seek the possibility of empathy from alienation. The voice-over and subtitles in the dark have established the existence of the film itself, and Uman's opening shot directly interacts with the audience: "I have something to ask you." But unlike the traditional alienation effect, Bergman has no intention of destroying the illusion of the film, but instead pursues a broader empathy without forgetting one's own existence - "The Jackal Hour" is a moment of shared nightmare. The camera is no longer...

    The scary thing is not ghosts, fake eyes, and murder by the sea, but the shame of being watched. The owner of the castle believes that art is the result of careful arrangement by the author, while the painter argues that his paintings are completely automatic creations of inspiration. But where can there actually be unconscious creation? The so-called "devil, five-legged calf" in the painter's mouth is nothing but a nightmare he has adapted. And this intentional cover-up of the subconscious is...

    "There are no self-evident things in my creation, only impulse and desire..." Waiting for a minute, the weird sight editing, strong traces of scheduling, amplified conversations, the film is full of false pleasure. The title appears in the middle of the 45-minute timeline. Before the silent high-profile memories entered, there was a hurried push mirror. When the boundary is crossed, the mirror is broken, the image (sound and picture) becomes invalid, and the fear reappears. Bergman's attitude...

    The only pity is that AFS does not have 35mm film. Watching Bergman is getting better and better, and I love the director himself more and more. The whole story is an excellent case study of clinical psychology, but also involves the family of origin and the influence on the partner....

    It's not that the family doesn't enter the house. In my understanding, the male protagonist's obsession with his old love and guilt towards [ ] distorted his reality and drove himself crazy; the female protagonist "is more and more similar to the male protagonist", and this love is also close to the male protagonist's kind of crazy. Everyone is happy...

    The first Bergman movie I watched in more than 10 years was almost the beginning of phobia of insomnia. The feeling left behind was depression, and now I think I don’t understand it. Many lights and shadows are intertwined, and dreams and reality are vaguely described. Now, it seems that this is the beginning of Bergman's less serious themes. The Jackal Moment should be regarded as the midnight before dawn, the weakest point of time from the body function to the will. Bergman starts from this...

    This film is too weird.. It leads to skip class directly after watching it. . . The limbs that I see are cold and gradually lose consciousness ==...

    It is more fortuitous that it is based on Bergman's psychological text, coupled with the actors' bold performances and the cooperation of photography, it is easy to enter this psychological thriller story, it just chooses an ordinary beginning, one of many detectives, The beginning of suspense and strange novels, a couple came to a strange place and lived in a strange building. If this memory is magnificent and beautiful, it is a warm and touching psychological drama, but if this is a...

    "One thing more: They want to destroy us."

    The opening subtitles are printed; "The painter John Borg and his wife temporarily live on the island of Friesland in Baltrum. Alma discovered his hallucinations in her husband's diary, which formed the basis of the film." The subtitles are accompanied by the sound of the camera turning, ending...

    Devil is born from the heart: talk about "Wolf Hour"

    "Wolf Hour", Bergman's horror film, even ghosts are polite and love art.

        Impressive music. At the beginning of the film is the sound of a machine being set up, and the shooting starts, telling us that this is a story, a story told. Must the storyteller be a trustworthy normal person? have no...

Hour of the Wolf quotes

  • Gamla Fru von Merkens: I'm an old crone.

  • Baron von Merkens: "The Magic Flute" is the great example and I shall prove it to you at once. Tamino's guides have just left him in the dark courtyard outside the temple of wisdom and the youth calls out in the deepest despair, "O endless night, when will you be gone? When will the daylight greet my sight?" Seriously ill, Mozart feels these words with a secret intensity. And the chorus and orchestra answer with "Soon, fair youth or never." The loveliest and perhaps the most disturbing music that has ever been written. Tamino asks, "Does Pamina still live?" The invisible chorus replies, "Pamina still lives." Listen to the strange, illogical but brilliant division: Pami-na. Pami-na. It's no longer the name of a young woman. It's a formula, an incantation, a naive text. In short, a work composed to order and yet the high manifestation of art.
