Hour of the Wolf (1968)
Director: Ingmar Bergman
This must be a difficult film for the masses to grasp. A complicated movie which makes its audience wonder which one of it is real and of which is fantasy. Well, that is, I suppose the blurred margins of the reality of a patient afflicted with schizophrenia.
The film narrates the perspective of the wife of a man down with this dreaded disease. She feels that perhaps she is partially to be blamed for his pull into this wilderness of the mind. She thinks, if her love for him, if it had been more substantial or if she had been more expressive, would have saved him.
An artist moves to a deserted island with his pregnant wife. In their mundane daily life, we see excerpts of his diary, his secrets of his childhood and the mysterious neighbours on the island.
The story is told in a sophisticated manner that we are left wondering what is real and what is not.
Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow, Bergman's regular star appear in this supposed horror presentation.

"Hour of the Wolf," : "It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are more real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fear, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The Hour of the Wolf is also the hour when most children are born."
