Roger Ebert December 11, 1968 Ingmar Bergman's "Hour of the Wolf" is the sort of highly personal film that needs to find its own audience; the average cross section of moviegoers won't like it, I suspect. It's a difficult film, and not altogether a successful one. Bergman requires a creative act of imagination from his audience, the same sort of suspension of disbelief that Disney asks the kids to make for " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. ?But the adults in the audience I observed didn't seem up to the effort. They snickered and whispered and made boors of themselves. Advertisement For his theme, Bergman has borrowed from the materials of Gothic legend. His hero is an artist (Max von Sydow) alienated from society, who lives on an island with his pregnant wife ( Liv Ullmann. On the other side of the island there is a castle inhabited by a baron and a menagerie of perverted friends. At night, the artist is haunted by insomnia, paranoia and strange dreams. A great deal of the action takes place halfway between midnight and dawn. the hour, Scott Fitzgerald said, which is the dark night of the soul. In a brief note, Bergman calls this the "Hour of the Wolf. and explains: 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. The artist is apparently going mad. He sits up night after night, staring into his candle, speaking with his wife of his strange dreams (or are they memories. Bergman penetrates the man's subconscious to extract a series of bizarre nightmares and imaginations. He slips these hallucinations back and forth across the line of reality, so that occasionally what seems to be a dream becomes gruesomely real. This is the case with the most powerful image in the film, an act of necrophilia that becomes a practical joke. Much of the film retains Bergman's ability to obtain deeply emotional results with very stark, almost objective, scenes. One night the artist tells his wife of a time when he was a child. He was shut up in a dark closet and told by his parents that a little man in there would eat his toes off. In terror, the child began climbing up on shelves, and boxes, begging to be released. Another night, the artist tells of a day when he went fishing at the seashore and was joined by a small boy. We see this scene in heavily contrasted black and white: There is a moment when the boy stands behind the man and could push him onto the rocks below, while the man compulsively winds in his fishing line. A moment later, in a fit of rage, the man kills the boy. The question is, did either of these scenes occur, or were they both nightmares? Bergman does not quite let us know. The woman becomes frightened of her husband. The inhabitants of the castle try to force their way into the couple's life. One night, the baron holds a dinner party that is charged with hostility and malice. There is a mention of scandal in the artist's past. The people in the castle slowly prepare their grotesque, cruel joke on the artist. Bergman handles this development in a surreal manner; we are never quite sure what is happening and what is only imagined. But if we allow the images to slip past the gates of logic and enter the deeper levels of our mind, and if we accept Bergman's horror story instead of questioning it, Hour of the Wolf" works magnificently. So delicate is the wire it walks, however, that the least hostility from the audience can push it across into melodrama. But it isn't that. If you go to see it, see it on Bergman's terms.

June 23, 2019 4:16PM PT Naomi Watts delivers a nuanced, nervy turn as a reclusive shut-in stewing in paranoia, writer's block and the heat of the 1977 Bronx summer. Run a finger along any of the surfaces in Alistair Banks Griffin s sophomore feature “ The Wolf Hour, ” and it will come up slicked with sweat, grime and the residual soot of the city. It is the summer of 1977,? and its hotter than hell. June Leigh ( Naomi Watts) perches on the window sill of the squalid Bronx apartment she dares not leave, facing right into a lethargic fan that scarcely even stirs the wavy brown hair off her sticky shoulders. Outside, little blisters of violence and intimidation erupt on the tinder-box streets, and somewhere nearby, Son of Sam is murdering women with wavy brown hair. “Hello from the gutters of New York City, ” the serial killer writes in letters to the papers, and though Griffins heavy-on-atmosphere, light-on-plot film takes place almost exclusively five floors up from ground level, those gutters feel palpably, oppressively close. “ The Wolf Hour ” is a peculiar film, compelling in its way due to Watts tensile, committed performance as a once-celebrated feminist writer now hemmed in to her dead grandmothers apartment by paranoia and the demons unleashed by her earlier success. And though there are other players, if there is a second lead in this near-single-location, near-one-woman-show, it is probably Kaet McAnnenys production design, which oozes menace and neglect so viscerally it might as well be ectoplasm. Khalid Mohtasebs supple photography, too, is a small wonder, never cheating the small space, but finding enough maneuverability within it so that a sense of claustrophobia is evoked without the imagery ever feeling constrained. But for all these strengths, and the judicious application of Saunder Jurriaans and Danny Bensis nervy score, the film lacks texture where it needs it most ? in Junes unraveling psychology. She has been holed up here for a while ? long enough to have bags of trash collecting flies beside the dusty draft of her second book in the living room, a system in place for paying the rent without opening her door and a regular grocery delivery set up with the bodega nearby. Her isolation is almost complete, except for a sinister buzzing intercom that crackles emptily when she answers it, and for a sudden, unwanted visit from her old friend Margot (Jennifer Ehle) who brings literal and figurative fresh air into her life for a moment, before June alienates her again. Aside from that, she forms a testy bond with delivery boy Freddie (Kelvin Harrison Jr. and fights off the rapey advances of a cop (Jeremy Bobb. But mostly, she chain-smokes, sweats into her drab tank top and fails to write. For all the hothouse menace Griffin summons, there is something coldly considered about “The Wolf Hour. ” As much as we feel Junes anxiety, and the acrid, stultifying weight of the humid air that encases her like wet cement, we never feel for her. Case in point: she replays a videotape of a much more put-together June being condescended to by a male interviewer and matching him jab for jab, until he unleashes the revelation that undoes her entirely and leads to her current, straggly-haired, sweat-stained incarnation. On the one hand, its a fairly effective way of cluing us in on backstory while maintaining the rigor of the single-location premise. But her past vicissitudes seem so like they happened to another person (one we never properly meet) that its difficult to invest in them. (It doesnt help that the bombshell TV interview irresistibly recalls the “Simpsons” episode where Bart taunts Lisa with the video where “you can actually pinpoint the second when [Ralphs] heart rips in half”. This cautiousness also extends to the films themes. Whereas there is a racial and a class element to Junes paranoia, as an unstable, vulnerable white woman from a wealthy background living alone and friendless in a predominantly black, poor, socially volatile neighborhood, the film shies away from a real exploration of that provocative situation. And even her creative struggle is undermined: “The Wolf Hour” takes the notion of literary blockage excessively seriously ? as it does everything: The portrayal of the classic 70s feminist as a being almost defined by her stringent humorlessness is something of a cliché by now. But it also implies that maybe all June really needed to get those juices flowing again was some halfway decent sex, which comes courtesy of an unusually sensitive gigolo, beautifully played by a soft-bodied, gentle-eyed Emory Cohen. “The Wolf Hour” touches on explosive ideas of racism, sexism, guilt, delusion and urban isolation, so its frustrating that, like the gun June obtains at one point, they are handled only warily and then shoved under the floorboards. The general consensus is that the other major 1977 heatwave-set New York City film, Spike Lees sprawling “Summer of Sam, ” bit off more than it could chew. But “The Wolf Hour” tries to make a five-course meal of the merest morsel, leaving Watts, on eminently watchable form, to grind her teeth on a role far less meaty than it ought to have been.

Average rating 3. 74 154 ratings 39 reviews, Start your review of The Wolf Hour The Wolf Hour presents an interesting take on modern day Africa, particularly on Uganda with its many problems. The author has obviously travelled widely and she describes the African bush perfectly. The story is good as long as you can accept the main premise that Tess would have been allowed to go on the trip to the rebel camp in the first place. After that is allowed the rest is predictable and everything that one would expect to happen to a young, white female in a Ugandan rebel camp happens... Tess Lowell was both fascinated and somewhat repulsed as she watched the ritual. In Uganda to help the children who had been abducted and coerced into fighting for the rebel forces, Tess had a PhD in psychology and was sure it would give her certain insights into the culture of Africa. But when Tess joined soldiers, against their express wishes, to travel deep into the African bush and across the Congolese border to meet the rebel leader for peace talks, she had no idea how big the mistake was... The Wolf Hour is the second novel by Australian author, Sarah Myles. Its not uncommon for families with adult children to be living remote from each other. Award winning photographer, Neil Lovell leads his fairly ordinary life in Melbourne with his wife, Leigh, a medical practitioner. Their son Stephen runs a sporting goods business in Cape Town with his South African school mate, Matt Reba. And their daughter Tessa, a psychology PhD, is in Gulu, Uganda, doing research on PTSD. That location... * he Wolf Hour: the time we come to face-to-face with ourselves. Ultimately, The Wolf Hour, penned by Australian novelist Sarah Myles, is a novel about how we view ourselves, especially in a time of great stress and danger. The Wolf Hour uses a Melbourne family as vehicle to examine family relations and the pressures involved when one family member goes missing in a far away land. For the Lowell family of Melbourne, when daughter Tessa goes missing in the thick... The Wolf Hour is the second book by Australian author, Sarah Myles. When I began this book, I wasn't too sure of what to expect as it's not my usual genre and I had not come across Sarah Myles before. The Wolf Hour turned out to be a well researched, intriguing look at contemporary life in Africa. Africa itself became a character of the story. Sarah doesnt hold back as she describes the beauty of the land and contrasts it with the harsh reality of daily life with political strife. The... The Wolf Hour proved itself an incredibly thought provoking read, although in the end, not solely for the reasons I had expected. I was anticipating a bit of tough read, in terms of digging deep into a topic such as child soldiers ? and it was ? but I was not expecting to be affected by the family drama aspect as much. The perspective of Tessas parents really reached in and squeezed my heart and they quickly became my favourite characters. Overall though, I found myself racing through The Wolf... I have just finished 'the Wolf Hour' by Sarah Myles, I was lucky enough to receive a copy from Allen&Unwin. What a super read I finished it in super quick time. Tessa is working in Uganda involved heavily with child soldiers, she manages to persuade her superior that she should be included in a delegation travelling over the Congolese border. She is abducted and ultimately rescued by her brother Stephen who is sent by her Australian parents to rescue her. So suspenseful, with a very... A fairly quick read. Fairly compelling. I've taken a bit of an interest in children abducted and brutalised to become soldiers in Kony's LRA so the main protagonist annoyed me a bit, at first, as she was setting it up to put herself in harms way. Of course, she then was faced with some fairly predictable repercussions. This struck me as fairly reasonable for a YA audience, I'm not sure that is the book's original target audience. Being a quick read it satisfied my curiosity about it without... This book is somewhat stilted. There are some sloppy editing mistakes that crashed back to reality, like Tessa's dad heating the oil in the pan twice. Mistakes like that aren't really important, they don't impede the events but they take you out of your imagination & back into reality. This is a big, sensitive subject this author has chosen to take on but from the first 100 pages it seems it is mostly gloss. And what mother says out loud that she thinks something is wrong with both of her... I knew that I had to read this as soon as soon as I read the description. I absolutely love books set anywhere in Africa and Im pretty certain Id never read one set in Uganda before. I was really interested to get a glimpse into that country and this had the promise of potentially being quite a frightening read, given the main character is kidnapped by rebels. Tessa Lowell is 30, from Melbourne and shes in Uganda researching the effects of PTSD on child soldiers kidnapped and turned into... Australian author Sarah Myles has conjured up a thriller that races across Africa, while unpicking the relationships between two adult children, and their Australian based parents. Siblings Tessa and Stephen are both in Africa, she working with child soldiers in Uganda, he in Capetown living on the very edge of a legal business, which involves gun running and more. When rebels kidnap Tessa in a remote and dangerous location her parents Leigh and Neil begin a disintegration in their relationship... Delving into family politics, neocolonialism, civil war and forgiveness, The Wolf Hour has no interest in patronising its readers with tidy solutions. The novel is diligently researched and breathtakingly descriptive, yet packs a punch rarely seen in contemporary literary fiction. The Wolf Hour moves quickly and raises fundamental human questions which play out on a global political scale and at the heart of one family; making it hard to put down while reading and impossible to forget once its... The Wolf Hour is set in Africa and Australia. Tessa has a PhD in Psychology and is in Uganda researching the rehabilitation of children who are suffering from PTSD. All of the children and young adults had been abducted from their villages and compelled to fight in armies sometimes against their own villagers before being rescued and assisted to reconnect with their remaining relatives. Tessas brother, Stephen operates a business in Cape Town and had cautioned Tessa when they caught up before... The Wolf Hour is Sarah Myles second novel. I read and admired Transplanted (2002) not long after it was released so I retrieved my reading journal ? and yes, there are some common themes with this latest book. Myles is interested in the dark side of human nature, and how society contributes to violence. What I wasnt expecting in The Wolf Hour was the way tolerant liberal parenting was exposed as flawed and irresponsible. The story begins in Uganda where 30-year-old Tessa Lowell is researching... The Wolf Hour by Sarah Myles was a book I normally wouldnt pick up, but because it was by an Aussie author and Aussie characters it made me interested. I really enjoyed this read, its about a lady called Tessa with a PhD in psychology who goes to Africa to write a paper on the young children who are made to be soldiers and about their rehabilitation. Whats happened to these young kids has shocked Tessa and she wants to help them, but some cant be. Something goes wrong and Tessa is abducted... I loved the descriptive and emotive language throughout this novel, it created a rich visualisation of the setting, characters, and themes. Myles explored some pretty heavy topics well, giving a good insight into the reality of civil conflict and child soldiers. Whilst I'm not informed enough to comment on the accuracy of the setting, I thought she did a great job of delving into the psyche of child soldiers. I found this element of the story more captivating than the actual plot and probably... The Wolf Hour opens in 2008, with 30 year old Tessa Lowell, an idealistic PhD student who has been studying the impact of PTSD on child soldiers in Uganda for several months. Tessa works with Dominic Oculi, a former abductee and child soldier himself, now rehabilitated and working to negotiate a peace deal with the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) and its volatile leader Joseph Kony. When Tessa insists, against Dominics advice, that she tag along with his peace delegation, she is kidnapped over a... "The Wolf Hour" by Sarah Myles is quite the deep novel. Based on the troubles within Uganda and the Congo and the fights between the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) and the government and the implication of that on the Acholi people of northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Tessa, an Australian psychology graduate (with PhD) is over in Uganda to research the psychology of the child soldiers rescued from the resistance and the PTSD... The Wolf Hour by Sarah Myles Thirty year old Tessa Lowell is captured by a group of rebels in the African Bush and this sets off a chain of events when her parents in Australia are notified of her disappearance. Tourists visiting Africa are warned of the dangers of travelling in remote areas but Tessa is a doctor of psychology who has been working in Uganda to research the effects of PTSD and war on child soldiers. She joined a delegation travelling across the Congolese border, for peace talks... I received The Wolf Hour by Sarah Myles from Beauty and Lace Book Club to read and do an honest Review. The Wolf Hour by Sarah Myles is a captivating read. War torn Uganda is not a place for the lighthearted and this book delves into the brutal lifestyle and what lengths Ugandans go to to survive.

I love that song. I personally think Christian Bale is still the best Batman, posture wise. Free full the wolf hour movies. Photo credit: Automatik; Bradley Pilz Productions; HanWay Films The apocalyptic anxiety of our present sociopolitical moment is the not-so-hidden undergirding of Alistair Banks Griffins psychodrama “The Wolf Hour, ” in which Naomi Watts plays June Leigh, a fearful author whos isolated herself from the outside world by holing up in her fifth-floor South Bronx walk-up. But its not 2019, when even the most dedicated of hermits can feel connected to others through the Internet. Griffins analog setting is the summer of 1977, when New Yorks then-notorious version of urban decay had segments of the city ready to ignite, while a steady stream of news about “The. 44 Caliber Killer” ? a female-targeting serial murderer soon to be known as “Son of Sam” ? had single women on edge, especially those with long, dark hair, like Junes. But despite a typically committed performance by Watts, once again showing her special affinity for hard-edged sufferers grinding out a way to survive, and an aura of the familiar and off-putting (reminiscent of Griffins 2010 indie debut “Two Gates of Sleep”) “The Wolf Hour” struggles to justify its increasingly grating moodiness. It doesnt work up much steam, neither as a single-location paranoid thriller nor as an especially revealing character study of self-imposed, jittery confinement. Also Read: Game of Thrones' With Naomi Watts Prequel on Ice, What's the Future of HBO's Planned Universe? Initially, though, the sickly green, Fincher-ish tinge to Khalid Mohtasebs cinematography ? which captures the thin film of sweat on Watts and the pungent layer of neglect over everything in Junes apartment (formerly her grandmothers, the previous tenant) ? and the ambient sound design hold the tense promise of an intriguing dive into a worried mind. Outside, the Bronx rattles, moans and yells, while inside, in dim light, we can hear the buzz of flies, but more urgently, to Junes fragile sensibility, the sinister crackle of her intercom, as if someone is desperate to get inside her building. Whenever she tries to answer it, though, no one seems to be there, just distortion and faint talking. Is this a prank? Or is she imagining it? Junes interactions with detectable humans, on the other hand, amount to prickly exchanges built around necessity. She can shove money under the door when rent is due, but when the grocery store sends a new delivery kid, Freddie (Kelvin Harrison, Jr., “Assassination Nation”) her guard goes up, especially when he asks if he can use her bathroom. Shes not crazy about having to accept her sister Margot (Jennifer Ehle) as a concerned visitor, but June begrudgingly allows it, even letting slide cracks like Margots after some helpful cleaning, “I keep expecting to find a dead body. ” Also Read: Andrew Lincoln to Star Opposite Naomi Watts in 'Penguin Bloom' Sibling rivalry rears its head, though, after their conversation discloses that Margot, also a writer, never had success the way June did with her counter-culture smash novel “The Patriarch, ” hardback copies of which litter the apartment. I wish we didnt have to learn about the books impact ? including a key piece of psychological information ? from a TV interview clip that awkwardly recreates a late-60s interview show with an imperiously judgmental William F. Buckley-type (Brennan Brown, overdoing it. Its a heavy-handed bit of shoved-in exposition that disrupts the already-wearying aura of housebound anxiety in the movies Hitchcockian shout-outs and “Repulsion”-like set-up. Then again, regarding the latter reference, perhaps one of Griffins goals was to refashion Roman Polanskis horror classic about a delicate beautys corrosive fear of sexually liberated society into a more timely scenario that adds political existential dread and the historical reality of sexual violence as thematic hues. When June finally gets a cop (Jeremy Bobb, “Escape at Dannemora”) to make a house call about the menacing buzzing, it devolves into a believably danger-filled exchange surrounding male institutional power. Later, the appearance of a want-ad-solicited “date” named Billy (an effective Emory Cohen) a self-proclaimed “midnight cowboy, ” carries its own mini-rollercoaster of suspicion, sensitivity and worry. Also Read: Naomi Watts on Remaining Locked Up in 'The Wolf Hour' Video) Eventually, though, when the notorious blackout of that New York summer factors into the finale, theres little sense that the movies external certainties and interior turbulence have fused into anything meaningful. Again, theres admirable visceral oomph to Griffins final push as that infamous nights destructiveness becomes impossible for June to ignore, but what were left with as an emotional climax is lacking and, one could argue, predictable considering the protagonists profession. There will surely be buzz surrounding Watts, who conveys utter dedication to Junes predicament even as the movie around her betrays a stylistically engineered quality. “The Wolf Hour” is, in a sense, almost too smart for its own good: savvy about the movie language of cooped-up constructs, aesthetically bold in look and sound, and content to let a great actor lead the way. But even lives like Junes ? brilliant but trapped in their neuroticism ? need to feel alive onscreen, not just coldly examined, and ultimately “The Wolf Hour” feels more like an exercise in the psychology of unease than a full-throttle leap into it. 15 Buzziest Sundance Movies: From Shia LaBeouf's 'Honey Boy' to 'Leaving Neverland' Photos) Sundance 2019: Film fanatics will brave the cold to see these hot films in Park City, Utah Park City, Utah, is about to be flush with cash. and we're not talking about buying apres ski gear.

Nick Allen said in his review for, “Naomi Watts further proves that shes one of the best with “The Wolf Hour, ” a largely one-woman show directed by Alistair Banks Griffin that takes place in a sweaty, anxious New York City during the Summer of Sam. Watts is a major factor to the charisma of this movie, expressing her characters isolation and anxiety; she makes each mysterious buzz on her apartment all the more nervous, and her conditions are the more visceral. ” See the trailer, poster, and recent conversion with the filmmakers below.

Hour of the Wolf Original Swedish theatrical poster Directed by Ingmar Bergman Produced by Lars-Owe Carlberg Written by Ingmar Bergman Starring Max von Sydow Liv Ullmann Gertrud Fridh Georg Rydeberg Erland Josephson Ingrid Thulin Music by Lars Johan Werle Cinematography Sven Nykvist Edited by Ulla Ryghe Production company Svensk Filmindustri Distributed by Svensk Filmindustri Release date 19 February 1968 (Sweden) Running time 88 minutes [1] Country Sweden Language Swedish Box office 250, 000 (U. S. 2] Hour of the Wolf ( Swedish: Vargtimmen, lit. ? 'The Wolf Hour' is a 1968 Swedish psychological horror [n 1] film directed by Ingmar Bergman and starring Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. The story explores the disappearance of fictional painter Johan Borg (von Sydow) who lived on an island with his wife Alma (Ullmann) while plagued with frightening visions and insomnia. Bergman originally conceived much of the story as part of an unproduced screenplay, The Cannibals, which he abandoned to make the 1966 film Persona. He took inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 's opera The Magic Flute and E. T. A. Hoffmann 's novella The Golden Pot, as well as some of his own nightmares. Principal photography took place at Hovs Hallar, Stockholm and Fårö. Themes include insanity, particularly as experienced by an artist, sexuality, and relationships, conveyed in a surreal style and with elements of folklore. Analysts have found allusions to vampire and werewolf legend. Authors have also connected the work to Bergman's life and his relationship with Ullmann; Bergman said he was experiencing his own "hour of the wolf" when he conceived the story. The film was initially met with negative reviews in Sweden. In later years Hour of the Wolf received generally positive reviews and was ranked one of the 50 greatest films ever made in a 2012 directors' poll by the British Film Institute. The film was followed by Bergman's thematically related films Shame (1968) and The Passion of Anna (1969. Ullmann won awards in 1968 for her performances in both Hour of the Wolf and Shame. Plot [ edit] Painter Johan Borg and his pregnant young wife Alma live on the small island of Baltrum. He shares sketches with Alma of frightening visions he has had, and begins to give them names, including the Birdman, the Insects, the Meat-Eaters, the Schoolmaster and the Lady With a Hat. As his insomnia grows worse, Alma stays awake by his side. One day, an elderly lady stops by the house and tells Alma to read Johan's diary, which he hides under his bed. Alma discovers that Johan is haunted not only by the real or imaginary strangers, but also by images of his former lover, Veronica Vogler. She also reads that Johan was approached by Baron von Merkens, who lives in a nearby castle. The painter and his wife visit them and their household. After dinner, the baron's wife shows the couple into her bedroom, where she has a portrait of Veronica by Johan. After they leave the castle, Alma expresses to Johan her fears of losing him to the demons, as well as her will to persevere if such were to happen. One night, Alma again stays awake with Johan. He tells her of the "vargtimmen. Hour of the Wolf. during which, he says, most births and deaths occur. He also recounts his childhood trauma of being locked into a closet where, as his parents said, a small person lived. He then recalls a confrontation with a small boy while out fishing on the island, which culminated with him killing the boy. Alma is shocked by Johan's confessions. Heerbrand, one of von Merkens's guests, shows up at the couple's house to invite them to another party at the castle, adding that Veronica Vogler is among the invitees. He places a pistol on the table, for protection against "small animals" and leaves. Johan and Alma begin quarreling over his obsession with Veronica. Johan finally picks up the pistol, shoots Alma and runs to the castle. Johan attends the party. The baron's guests are revealed to be the demons that Johan described to Alma. As he rushes through the castle searching for Veronica, he meets Lindhorst, who applies cosmetics to his pale face and dresses him in a silk robe. He then leads Johan to her. Johan finds Veronica, who appears to be dead; as he looks over the body, she suddenly sits up and laughs. Johan is physically attacked by the demons and flees into underbrush. Alma, who was injured by one of the shots but is only left with a scar, searches the forest for her husband. She witnesses the attacks on him before he finally disappears, leaving her alone in the woods. Alma later shares her story and her husband's diary. She wonders whether the fact that she and Johan lived together for so long and became so similar was why she could see his Man-Eaters, and whether she would have been better able to protect him if she had loved him less, or more. Cast [ edit] The cast includes: 1] Production [ edit] Development [ edit] Inspirations for the story included Bergman's recurring nightmares, featuring a woman who took off her own face and an entity that walked on ceilings. [11] Johan's description of being locked in a closet as a boy was based on Bergman's childhood. [12] An external influence was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 's The Magic Flute, with the opera's character Papageno transformed into an evil Birdman. [13] n 2] Bergman's interpretation of The Magic Flute is echoed through his character Lindhorst. [11] 15] Bergman credited German author E. Hoffmann as an additional major influence. [16] Elements of the story also originated from Bergman's manuscript The Cannibals or The Maneaters, which he finished in 1964 and planned to shoot on Hallands Väderö. [17] 18] Bergman abandoned The Cannibals due to pneumonia, after which he wrote and directed Persona instead. [17] 19] Following Persona, he decided to make a reworked version of The Cannibals, under the new title Hour of the Wolf. [17] The term was defined by Bergman in an explanatory note in his screenplay: The hour between night and dawn. when most people die, sleep is deepest, nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their worst anguish, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The hour of the wolf is also the hour when most babies are born. [11] According to Professor Birgitta Steene, the title is drawn from Swedish folklore, where the "hour of the wolf" refers to the period from 3 a. m. to 5 a. m., supposedly when the most deaths and births occur. [20] Folklorist Bengt af Klintberg recalled that in 1964, Bergman tasked theatre manager Niklas Brunius to research legend about the hour, and Brunius asked Klintberg about it; Klintberg found the term had no roots in Swedish folklore, though there was a "ghost hour" between midnight and 1 a. [21] Bergman claimed he first came across the term "hour of the wolf" in a Latin source, though he did not identify the source and may have coined the term himself. [11] n 3] He later said that at the time of the story's conception, he was experiencing his own "hour of the wolf" and was "freed" from it upon the production's completion. [23] During the latter stages of post-production of Persona in 1966, Bergman held a meeting to begin planning Hour of the Wolf. [18] He later said the film builds on Persona: Hour of the Wolf is seen by some as a regression after Persona. It isn't that simple. Persona was a breakthrough, a success that gave me the courage to keep on searching along unknown paths. When I see it today, I understand that it is about a deep-seated division within me both hidden and carefully monitored, visible in both my earlier and later work. Hour of the Wolf is important since it is an attempt to encircle a hard-to-locate set of problems and get inside them. [24] Casting [ edit] Bergman had planned to cast Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann in The Cannibals, 25] having met Ullmann through his regular collaborator Andersson on a Stockholm street. [26] Ullmann placed the meeting in 1964, and said that Bergman recognized her and asked her on the spot if she would like to work with him. [27] Ullmann later became Bergman's lover and became pregnant with their daughter Linn. [28] After a separation Bergman told her he had written a pregnant character, Alma, for her. [29] He mailed her the screenplay for Hour of the Wolf and she returned to Fårö from Norway for the part. [30] n 4] Erland Josephson was busy as a managing director of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, but desired a role in Hour of the Wolf, having seen earlier versions of the Cannibals screenplay and deciding a frightening film would be fun. [32] Naima Wifstrand 's part as the lady with the hat was her last film role. [33] Filming [ edit] Principal photography took place at Hovs Hallar and Råsunda Studios in Stockholm, 34] and on the island of Fårö. [28] n 5] Hovs Hallar's coast was particularly used for exterior shots. [17] Shooting lasted from 23 May to 23 November 1966. [34] Ullmann said she had little understanding of the subject matter during production, but recognized Bergman's traits in von Sydow's character. During shooting, including of her monologue scene, she became frightened imagining Bergman could degenerate like the character. [37] She said there were no rehearsals or discussion of the film's meaning. [30] According to von Sydow, Bergman wanted to film the dinner table scene in one take, for the "continuity" actors experience in stage plays. Ultimately, cinematographer Sven Nykvist took a seat in front of the actors at the table and panned quickly, with von Sydow explaining, it's very difficult to stop each pan at a moment when you have an ideal composition on each person. 38] The ceiling-walking scene was achieved through trick photography. [32] During production Ullmann left for Norway to give birth, and retur

MOVIES 6:54 PM PST 1/26/2019 by Courtesy of Sundance Institute Naomi Watts in 'The Wolf Hour' Despite Watts' tensile performance, hardly a howling success. Naomi Watts plays a troubled novelist who shuts herself up in a sweltering South Bronx apartment through the Summer of Sam in Alistair Banks Griffin's isolation thriller. A deglammed Naomi Watts puts herself through the wringer as a paranoid agoraphobic, holed up in the South Bronx apartment of her late grandmother on a diet of cigarettes and booze while New York shudders, sweats and burns in The Wolf Hour. It's 1977, the Summer of Sam, and the escalating murder count is spreading panic through the city. But the condition of Watts' character June Leigh, a counterculture novelist whose first book was a sensation, is of her own making. Or is it? Those are the basics of writer-director Alistair Banks Griffin's claustrophobic psychological thriller, a showy acting vehicle stronger on gritty surface texture than character involvement. You can't fault Watts' commitment to the role in a movie so hermetic it could almost be a play. But this is second-rate Polanski fodder that crawls along with not much force beyond the neurotic protagonist's simmering dread and the vague menace of an intermittently buzzing intercom with no one there. Given that the only way for a movie like this to end ? spoiler alert! ? is for her to face her fears and step outside, you need to care about the character to give that emergence from hiding any emotional impact. New York as a cauldron for violence and unrest is a familiar backdrop. The perfect storm of '77 that combined a wave of killings, a city in financial collapse, an unrelenting heatwave and a power blackout that led to looting and arson was turned into a self-indulgent, overblown symphony by Spike Lee in 1999's Summer of Sam. Here it's a background-noise tease that never amounts to much; Griffin is more interested in the existential threat, the creeping monster of guilt and the sophomore block of a once-esteemed writer whose stock has fallen during the long wait for her second book. In terms of plot mechanics it's thin gruel. Even a Chekhovian gun gets hidden beneath the floorboards and promptly forgotten. It's unclear how long June has been a shut-in, but from the trash bags piling up attracting flies and the concern of her old friend Margot (Jennifer Ehle) when she forces her way in, it's obviously been a while. Margot helps her clean up, and when she finds reams of brilliant raw prose she urges June to finish and submit the novel. But June turns hostile and drives her out in a fit of irrational drunken rage. At that point, she conveniently pops in a VHS of a TV interview from when she was riding high on the bestseller charts to give us the root of her trauma, a revelation that doesn't pack much dramatic punch. Other emissaries from the increasingly chaotic real world outside appear throughout the film, the sole repeat visitor being Freddie (Kelvin Harrison Jr. a delivery guy from the local bodega. He sticks around long enough to wash up and wax philosophical with dialogue so purple it's the first clue we might be watching the embryonic form of June's second novel. There's also a sleazy cop (Jeremy Bobb) who responds to June's 911 harassment complaint by suggesting he could stop by periodically to check in on her in exchange for a sexual "arrangement. That obviously doesn't play well with the principled feminist who made waves by declaring herself a reluctant witness to cultural genocide. But she does have physical needs, which are seen to by midnight cowboy Billy (Emory Cohen) allowing June to relax for a minute in the post-carnal glow until that pesky buzzer sets her on edge again. Somewhere along the way, she's prompted to haul out the typewriter and knuckle down on that overdue book. It's easy enough to see what drew a talented actor like Watts to this one-note material, since it's pretty much a solo show, the remaining cast serving as props to draw out different shades of June's damaged personality. The problem is it's all too dour and ponderously portentous to pull us into her world. Watts plays her bone-deep anxiety to the hilt, but even when the causes are laid out, she remains a fairly obvious metaphor for an unraveling society, both then and now. As such, The Wolf Hour ? which gives granular attention to the artfully grungy visuals, the wash of ambient sound filtering in from outside and the strategic use of a moody score laced with nervous strings ? feels like a B-movie crippled by self-importance.
