His movies are always dark. He brings out touhg topics to the light. Brave artist 👏🏻 and can we all talk about the opening of this movie?! It was simple yet very great😄
Art is meant to represent what the artist wants it to, and if they have a more optimistic view on life and want to give a happy tone to their work, they should, and their art won't be any better or worse than any artist with darker, more "realistic" take on it.
After seeing "Hour of the Wolf", it's apparent that at least two other American films may seemingly have been influenced by it: "A Beautiful Mind" and "Shutter Island". Interestingly enough, Max Von Sydow also appeared in "Shutter Island."
Many thanks for the view and nice comments! Always glad to see people appreciate this film. I’m currently pursuing a film degree, and doing these videos can sometimes be a bit difficult to factor into my workload, but this is super encouraging and motivational to read. Cheers!
I really appreciate your analysis of the film. Hearing what you said as someone who gets the film, from someone who does too, was refreshing. Roger Ebert's take on it is mindful and respectful, but lacks the resonance of emotion that yours includes. I look forward to more videos in the future, and how you develop your pacing even further.
a favorite, the first Bergman film i was introduced to, some of the great modern directors definitely--notably Kubricks interpretation of the Shining which immediately came to mind.
I don't see a Kubrick connection with "The Shining" to "Hour of the Wolf". At the same time, please realize that the "horror" story line in "The Shining" is just that. Most of the movie is actually the story line of the horror novel that Jack Torrance is writing. Clue: please note that the color of his typewriter changes signifying thereafter that it and the "psychotic" Jack Torrence character are a part of the novel that the real Jack Torrance is writing...clever, huh? If you pay close enough attention, the Overlook Hotel also slightly changes in parts of the movie where the entirely fictional "psychotic" Jack Torrance character appears onscreen...very sly and ingenious on Kubrick's part.
@@froggo7215 Of course, they're not Bergman's they're all of us. This is why he's so good, also why people avoid watching his films. 'Cos they is frightened!
Criminal that this has so few views! Thanks for posting this for us all. I just watched this last night and was also too haunted by it.
People get scared of their secrets being shown to them.

Excellent analysis of one of my favorite Bergman films. Thanks for making this!

Hour of the Wolf is unabashedly Bergman's one true horror film. It is only fully understandable as a horror film.
Wonderful review of a cinematic masterpiece.
A really good essay. A great film. A truly great film.
Great video! This is an underappreciated work of Bergman's
Watched today for my movie club, wonderful film. Great video my friend
Continue making these video essays, this is a good fit for you if it is your passion.

Excellent. Been dying to finally watch it.
good job man, incredible film
I felt like I was the crazy one well watching this movie.
nice, but i would have loved if you also made the connection between the midnight flute and the film.
In many respects Hour of the Wolf
is an early version of Stephen Kings
The Shining .
The Shining is a lately version of Hour of the Wolf**.

Great vid!
Excellent
I find it so frustrating listening to your commentary: it sounds really interesting but I can only make out the half of it.
But is it really so obscure? Can someone Name me 10 Bergman movies That are wider knowen in the general publuc?
Bergman is the TOOL of cinema.
what
It isn't a young child he kills, it's something unnameable.
Does it even happen?
I thought so as well. I think it was the unnamable thing. He is the most disgusting male character in cinema 😁
@@froggo7215 It's got some competition, just from the other characters in Vargtimmen.
😵
@@Johnconno apparently people are saying that all other characters are his demons including the lil boy.
@@froggo7215 Of course, they're not Bergman's they're all of us.
This is why he's so good, also why people avoid watching his films. 'Cos they is frightened!
@@Johnconno yep his movies are dark and he always make people to face their darkest toughts
