🐾 Arya's Approval

This film is not for the faint of heart, and I mean that in the best possible way. Bergman doesn't make comfortable cinema - he makes cinema that forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature and society.

Set in 1920s Berlin, The Serpent's Egg explores the conditions that allowed fascism to take root, but it does so through deeply personal, psychological storytelling rather than grand political statements. Liv Ullmann and David Carradine navigate this dark landscape with performances that feel raw and authentic, while Gert Fröbe adds his distinctive presence to the mix.

What makes this film essential is how Bergman uses the thriller format to examine existential dread and social decay. It's disturbing not because of what it shows, but because of what it reveals about the capacity for evil that exists within seemingly ordinary circumstances.

This isn't entertainment in the traditional sense - it's cinema as art, as philosophy, as uncomfortable mirror held up to humanity. Essential viewing for anyone who believes film can be both challenging and profoundly meaningful.
