Shame (Skammen)
Ingmar Bergman, Sweden 1968
Featuring Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand, Hans Alfredson

Fleeing a civil war in their country, a married couple (Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann) retreat to a remote island to grow fruit and cultivate their mutual love. But war overtakes them, exacting its total surrender of pride, privacy, and finally, principle. An oblique response to the escalating war in Vietnam, Shame expands Bergman's frame from interpersonal conflicts to political ones.
