Description
Shame/Skammen-A Rare Original Vintage Movie Poster of Ingmar Bergman's War Torn Drama with Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow, Hans Alfredson, & Gunnar Bjornstrand. SHAME or Skammen is one of the most powerful & enduring works by Swedish maestro Ingmar Bergman. The film is unrelentingly bleak in an emotionally rich & captivating way. Shame follows a husband (Max von Sydow) & wife (Liv Ullmann) who live a peaceful, if isolated, life on a small island in the north sea. When war comes to town, the fissures in their relationship & their true personalities are exposed for all to see. One of Ingmar Bergman's best, along with The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Cries & Whispers, Persona, & The Hour of the Wolf, Shame has stood the test of time in its ongoing relevance to our world today. The direction is superb & the quality of the production values is at a zenith during this period of his work. SHAME stars three of the most prolific actors in Bergman's oeuvre, with Liv Ullmann delivering a moving & tender performance at the heart of the piece supported by Max Von Sydow at the height of his powers & the brilliant Gunnar Bjornstrand. Gunnar Bjornstrand evokes chills as the Colonel, luring you into the corrupt & sociopathic nature of his character. Photographed by the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist, SHAME has no music or score to detract from this gorgeous descent into moral chaos.
