Kris (Crisis)
Ingmar Bergman
1945 Sweden (1st time; DVD)
A young girl moves out of her adopted home to go live with her mother in Stockholm, and finds there a darker side to humanity.
Bergman's first directorial effort is a slight affair which takes two thirds to get going; the final half-hour is an interesting one, however, full of recurring visual motifs that hint at masterpieces to come. Moments that would later be known as Bergmanesque are few and far between, and if it weren't for the subtitles and a more explicit suggestion of sex, it may well have been a 1940s women's melodrama from Hollywood.
