Review of Shame

Shame (1968)
10/10
Forget "horror" films, this is truly terrifying.

In the first twenty minutes we grow to adjust to the rich normality of these lives, and then the bombs start falling. War changes everything. Beautifully photographed, acted and written obviously. This film is a triumph.

The proper aspect ratio, unlisted on IMDb at time of writing, is 1.33.1, and it is correct on DVD from Distinction Series from Region 4, though I can't speak for any other releases. The transfer is nice too for DVD. This ranks as one of the best Bergman films I've seen and one of the best war films I've seen. Can't recommend it highly enough.

10/10
