Ingmar Bergman
Hour of the Wolf

The strangest and most disturbing of the films Ingmar 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.




The Hour of the Wolf" is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fear, when ghosts and demons are most powerful.


Hour of the Wolf (Swedish: Vargtimmen, lit. 'The Wolf Hour') is a 1968 Swedish psychological horror[n 1] film directed by Ingmar Bergman and starring Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. The story explores the disappearance of fictional painter Johan Borg (von Sydow), who lived on an island with his wife Alma (Ullmann) while plagued with frightening visions and insomnia.

Bergman originally conceived much of the story as part of an unproduced screenplay, The Cannibals, which he abandoned to make the 1966 film Persona. He took inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1791 opera The Magic Flute and E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1814 novella The Golden Pot, as well as some of his own nightmares. Principal photography took place at Hovs Hallar, Stockholm and Fårö.



Themes include insanity, particularly as experienced by an artist, sexuality, and relationships, conveyed in a surreal style and with elements of folklore. Analysts have found allusions to vampire and werewolf legend. Authors have also connected the work to Bergman's life and his relationship with Ullmann; Bergman said he was experiencing his own "hour of the wolf" when he conceived the story.

The film was initially met with negative reviews in Sweden. In later years Hour of the Wolf received generally positive reviews and was ranked one of the 50 greatest films ever made in a 2012 directors' poll by the British Film Institute. The film was followed by Bergman's thematically related films Shame (1968) and The Passion of Anna (1969). Ullmann won awards in 1968 for her performances in both Hour of the Wolf and Shame.

  Љубичасти крак светлости сваке ништавности у нама  Кратке приче већ дуго привлаче посену пажњу читалаца, а када се у њима нађу модерни елементи, онда њихова вредност још више расте јер у себи садрже многоројне истине које се са филозофском тежином најбоље памте и прихватају као огледало нас самих. Зато је за свакога ко у краткој, сапетој форми воли понирање у подсвест, збивања кроз репродукцију човекове свести, дефабулативност, суочавање са сопственим несавршеностима и трагање за животним смислом, најбољи избор зирка кратких прича Спонтано саоревање, Себастиана Саве Гора, јер је ово дело најбољи доказ да надреализам проткан апсурдом и парадоксом још увек итекако живи на нашој литерарној сцени.  У 72 приче, колико се сакупило у три дела ове зирке, дато је можда једно од најтурбулентнијих путовања у човекову подсвест у последње време у домаћој књижевности.

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...
