Bergman's "Thirst," filmed a bit after WWII, and set in '46: as ruthless
Posted by tinear on April 17, 2012 at 19:20:53:
an exposition about love as you'll find from anyone. Three women deal with the aftermath of unhappy loves, though Bergman wastes little time in the reasons. He's really interested in how the truly and severely damaged continue on through not only great trials, but how they face what to them appears a hopeless future.
What keeps this somber film from descent into melodrama is the originality of the personalities: the three central women brilliantly are portrayed, and the screenplay (an adaptation of a successful book) won't insult your intelligence with triteness. In other words, though the characters are being torn apart by their feelings, they don't give in to them--- they rage.
