Tomorrow Ill be presenting the magnificent Shame (1968) after excerpts from The Virgin Spring (1960) at the Hibbleton Ingmar Bergman Retrospective, two films placing a microscope on the extreme borders of human compassion, on the incremental and nearly invisible catalysts that lead a person to choose either non-violence or retaliation in reaction to suffering and evil around them. The Virgin Spring explores what this meant during the period when Sweden was shifting reluctantly from Norse paganism to Christianity, while Shame examines modern pacifism thrown directly into the midst of war. 7:30pm, FREE.
