Ingmar Bergman Project #3: Thirst (C+)

Posted by Danoslam (aka dano) Aug 10 '09, 11:33

A bickering married couple are traveling home from vacation by train through post World War II Europe. As they travel, we flash back to their previous relationships and the fallout of those. I was not so interested in the couple on the train storyline, but some of the flashbacks were interesting, which featured among other things abortion, suicide, and lesbian ballerinas. Still, it's another melodrama and I still don't think that I've gotten to what would be considered a real "Bergman movie" yet.

Responses:

thanks for doing this. I was about to say 'it looks like I shouldn't bother catching up on Bergman' but I'll wait for your further reports. -- nm - Max Aug 10, 11:37 2
- I think #6 (Smiles of a Summer Night) will be the first "real" Bergman film. Then I'll hit Wild Strawberries, Seventh Seal, and Virgin Spring. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 10, 11:42
