A painter, living in voluntary exile on a remote island with his pregnant wife, is haunted by disturbing visions as he confronts his repressed desires. When both are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong as his descent into madness hastens, leading to a shocking discovery.

Inspired by his own recurring nightmares, Ingmar Bergman followed Persona with this gothic horror. Pairing Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann as a couple confronting trauma and the return of the repressed, Hour of the Wolf is full of Bergman’s most frightening flourishes and stark, surreal imagery.
