Tu 3p, 7p: The Passion of Anna

On a windswept, barren island, Andreas (von Sydow) becomes entangled with Anna (Ullmann), a beautiful, mysterious widow, and a neighboring couple (Andersson, Josephson) harboring their own sorrows and illusions. Soon, secrets from Andreas and Anna’s pasts threaten to shatter not only their desperate attempt at love but their tenuous hold on reality as well.

1p, 5p, 9p: Shame
Cast: Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Sigge Furst, Gunnar Björnstrand; 1968, 103 mins
SHAME probes the atrocities of war, both internal and external, as a young couple struggles to survive while the world around them crumbles into chaos. On a remote island far removed from a raging civil war, Jan and Eva (von Sydow, Ullmann) retreat to their apolitical fortress: a small vegetable farm. But their serene existence is shattered when soldiers violently invade their home.
