Playing as part of Academy's MARATHON OF MADNESS, re-scheduled to the MAD month of May! You can buy tickets to one, or as many titles as you want in the marathon - how many films will YOU be able to last?
'The strangest and most disturbing of the films Bergman shot on the island of Fårö, HOUR OF THE WOLF stars Max von Sydow as a haunted painter living in voluntary exile with his wife (Liv Ullmann). When the couple are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong with a vengeance, as a coven of sinister aristocrats hastens the artist’s psychological deterioration.'
This gripping film is charged with a nightmarish power rare in the Bergman canon, and contains dreamlike effects that brilliantly underscore the tale’s horrific elements.
