Wyrd War Presents!

HOUR OF THE WOLF

HOUR OF THE WOLF
Wyrd War proudly brings Ingmar Bergman’s dark psychological folk horror masterpiece HOUR OF THE WOLF (1968) to the big screen for one night only!

Troubled painter Johan Borg (Max von Sydow) and his pregnant wife Alma (Liv Ullmann) live a solitary life on a remote island where Johan finds himself haunted by nightmarish visions and existential dread. When the couple is visited by an elderly woman who directs Alma to find her husband’s diary hidden under their bed, the paranoia of isolation and slow riveting descent into madness soon escalate. Thematically and stylistically similar to his earlier acclaimed dramas THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY (1961) and PERSONA (1966), HOUR OF THE WOLF is Bergman’s sole foray into supernatural horror, and he commands the genre with characteristic sensitivity, slow burning tension and masterful use of shadow and light to reflect the inner worlds of his cast. Gorgeously filmed on the remote tiny island of Fårö, off the coast of Gotland, Sweden, where Bergman made many of his most brilliant films and where he would eventually live and die, HOUR OF THE WOLF is an unforgettable mediation on art, spirituality, madness, loyalty and love.
