Eve (Molander, 1948): BFI Southbank, NFT 6.20pm


This 35mm screening (also being shown on February 7th) is part of the Ingmar Bergman season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.

BFI Southbank preview:
Though directed (like the previous year’s Woman Without a Face) by the veteran Gustaf Molander, this is clearly from a Bergman script, with the protagonist (Malmsten) guilt-ridden over a childhood incident and seeking happiness through his relationship with a woman he knew as a boy. The interest in trauma, guilt, pain and restorative relationships is pure Bergman; the flashback structure also typifies his early style.


Here (and above) is an extract.
