SHAME (FILM)


Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Sweden

In the midst of a civil war, former violinists Jan and Eva Rosenberg, who have a tempestuous marriage, run a farm on a rural island. In spite of their best efforts to escape their homeland, the war impinges on every aspect of their lives.

Harrowing and bleak, the film is an unforgettable experience.  The lead actors are compelling and the sesne of helplessness in time of war is profound.
