	This Month's Rent (video): Shame
		With a particular and refreshing abstention from art-house navel-gazing, Shame is an apolitical home-front horror show where life during wartime slowly shifts from existing in a state of petty complacency to, literally, drifting in a sea of corpses.
		Longtime Bergman partisans Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow play the Rosenbergs, a painfully average, childless couple who run a small farm in the hinterlands of some unnamed European country.
		Shame is easily the most neglected of Bergman's masterpieces, even at the time of its release, a fact perhaps due more to the director's surprising dismissal of poetic gimmicks than its unfashionable decontextualization of a war's specific horrors in the era of Vietnam.

	INGMAR BERGMAN at Film Forum in New York City
		From his earliest youth, Bergman was among the most hardened of film buffs, and from his university days an enfant terrible of the theater.

		Bergman’s penultimate work for the cinema, designed as a kind of valedictory, touches on a kaleidoscope of his favorite themes: the theater, male/female tensions, childhood, repressive religion, etc., as well as being one of his warmest and most autobiographical works.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: The Current Cinema
		Bergman is so instantly linked with the Nordic landscape, and with the daunting demeanor of those who suffer there, that these buoyant films, dating from 1951 and 1953, are liable to bliss you out with their spasms of uncowed defiance.
		This is the Bergman who needs rescuing—who deserves to be fêted less for his anguished attitudes than for the lithographic clarity of his compositions, which somehow remain feathery and breathed-upon even at their most austere.
		Bergman, it is true, guides us through infernal regions that are closed to most filmmakers, and he has been much mocked in the attempt, but let nobody tell you that he does not share—with Truffaut, with Fellini, with Welles—the sharp, regretful taste of everyday experience.

	Ingmar Bergman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Bergman cracks the persona of classic narrative cinema by punctuating the story with scenes of a film running through a projector - a sometimes shocking Godardian reminder that this is a film we are watching, this too is illusory and subject to breakdown and negation.
		The troubling fractures and fissures of their relationships are set against, and considerably exacerbated by, a bizarre series of atrocities being committed by a maniac at loose on the island.

	Ingmar Bergman
		Bergman works primarily in the chamber cinema genre, although there are exceptions, such as the journey narrative of Wild Strawberries (1957) and the family epic of Fanny and Alexander (1983).
		Ostensibly concerned with identity crisis and the role reversal of a nurse and her mentally ill patient, the subtext of the film explores the nature of the cinematic apparatus itself.
		Even the minor films of Bergman's later period, such as Face to Face (1976), Autumn Sonata (1978) and From the Life of the Marionettes (1980) continue to explore and refine recurrent themes and techniques.

	Blogcritics.org: Ingmar Bergman's Stunning Shame
		Ingmar Bergman's Shame is a film about the way war destroys not just bodies but souls, and it has all the forceful clarity of a true masterpiece.
		Bergman is great with faces; his close-ups pull all the truth out of a scene, due not just to Sven Nykvist's ace cinematography but the intensity of the performances of Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow.
		Shame begins in very typical Bergman fashion: a static shot of the bedroom of a married couple, Jan (von Sydow) and Eva (Ullmann) Rosenberg; it is morning, and an alarm clock goes off for an uncomfortably long time, enough to set you a little bit on edge — like those car horns in Godard's Weekend.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Shame (68) dir. Ingmar Bergman
		Ingmar Bergman is best known for his psychological, domestic dramas, and Shame is his big, disappointing leap into the outside world.
		Bergman doesn't clue us into the reasons for the war (not a problem), nor does he portray one side more angelic than the other (definetly not a problem).
		It's Bergman's world, you either have to accept his terms (man + woman + war = suffering) or be frustrated by the clinical nature of its invention.
